18 Layer Textured UV Pigment Print with Spot Varnish on 640gsm Lana Hot Press Paper.
Shaina McCoy's ambiguous yet tender portrait Hoops conjures an intimate portrayal of her archival family albums.
The young basketball fan is rendered in a rich candy-hued texture, her facial features hinted at with thick directional brushstrokes. Reminiscent of McCoy's signature generous oil paint application, the tactile print is created with 9 layers of raised texture, formed by innovative UV flatbed techniques.
"There are things I would like to say so I use portraiture to guide those thoughts and to tell the stories of my family."
