Helping Hands

Rebecca Adams is an artist living and working in Providence, RI. She graduated in 2006 from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Photography. Her paintings often focus on black and white portraiture referencing stylized and graphic vintage film. She was recently included in the Scarygirl 10 Year Anniversary show at ToyTokyo in NYC curated by Nathan Jurevicius, as well as being a featured artist in Papirmasse, a Toronto based art print subscription. Her paintings were album art for the band "Daughters" self-titled LP (2010), and her work was selected for Volume 15 of Studio Visit Magazine, a series of juried artist books. Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph.

A Brief Note At their core, art and design are about communication – the transmission of information and emotion. Focusing primarily on high quality prints, Telegraph's goal is to present the works of emerging artists in contemporary, illustrative, narrative, and pop art fields in an accessible and affordable format. Our secondary purpose is curate a selection of goods, rarities, and independent publications that reflects an appreciation of good design.
