Silverlens is pleased to announce Drift and Vapor, Maya Muñoz's fourth solo exhibition at Silverlens Manila.
In her new series of works, Muñoz explores expanded printmaking, combining a screen-print process with painting and photography. The images depict landscapes and communities she encounters every day— prosaic scenes that soothe the brutal side of life. The artist conjures the elusive, the transient, generating mood and a sense of vastness in atmospheric storytelling. Resolute on vernacular methods, she manipulates snapshots in her studio darkroom using hand-applied emulsion and a self-made exposure unit, then prints them with acrylic for textured surface quality. Her unique mixed treatments are the result of two years' ceaseless experimentation, trials harnessing controlled accidents. Through virtuosity of material, technique becomes poetry; erasures and multiple layers articulate passing moments that amble along, impossible to hold still.
