Selected Work

Michael Crossett
Washington, DC

Mixed Media Artist / Screen Printer / Designer

“Crossett’s process always begins with photography. He captures the familiar sights of the urban landscape with a discerning and creative eye, both celebrating a city’s rich history and recording its fast-paced changes. He also collects relevant historic imagery and other iconography to add to his final compositions. It is from here that Crossett transforms from photographer to mixed media artist. Rather than relying on digital platforms such as Photoshop to edit, crop, layer and otherwise transform his imagery, he creates silk screens. One at a time, Crossett hand-pulls color through these screens, layering hundreds of images into vibrant arrangements of recognizable icons. His pieces show us a city through his eyes, breathing new life in to landmarks often considered stale or stoic and reminding us to always remember the past.“     Washington, DC   @michael_crossett /  mcrossett@me.com
