Phil Stein

The foundation of the process is digital images mounted on combinations of 100% cotton rag board, wood and matt board in layers.

While a variety of fine art papers are used all images are printed on an Epson 2200 using the 7-color UltraChrome archival inks. The prints are dry mounted with PH Neutral industry standard roll laminates such as MACtak IP 5000 series or Seal Optimount. This allows a large collage of many layers to be extremely light, thin, acid free and durable. Occasionally the surface is reworked through combinations of standard acrylic materials. With the exception of works on paper, the pieces lay seamlessly against a wall with the mounting structure built into the back.

A few themes in contemporary culture are the use of multiple imagery, visual and musical sampling, multitasking, constant interruption, and immediacy of change. This work is an interpretation of these common aspects of our experience.

As an advertising photographer by profession, the fine arts is a natural progression.
