Visiting national parks in the United States is a spiritual experience, absent of visual and auditory noise, that relaxes the mind and has a transformative effect on the human psyche. This research emulates the atmospheric quality of national park landscapes through a printmaking process of split-fountain serigraphy. Each print is an abstract representation of a unique park I have visited, with color as the critical identifier of place. With this visual language of printed work established, I designed a poster series for the National Park System. The intent of this project is to effectively communicate the value of this land and garner greater support for the National Park Foundation. Visit atmosphereofprint.com to view the full project.
