Printmaking Installation: Slow No Wake Zone

Large-scale printmaking installation at a brewery down south.

Screenprinting and Art Direction: Michelle Peck
Professor: Deb Oden
Photography: Griffin Hunt and Jess Farran

Musings in nostalgia

From both personal life references and lyrical attachments, Slow No Wake Zone came together for my independent study in printmaking at the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Reclaimed sails were collected from various local Savannah marinas and brought back to life to fill the large-scale space. Draped throughout the room, I wanted the viewer to feel engulfed by a sails size—a similar feeling to looking up the mast while out sailing.

Connection to music

Phrases and fragments from James Taylor’s Riding on a Railroad decorate the sails in a meditative manner. Repeated and lingered on across the canvas. A poem sat surriounded by the sails anchoring many of my thoughts across this time in my life.
