About
Malena Summers is a Florida based screen printer who’s work focuses on exploring textures and patterns through experimentation. Her experience in graphic design and other printmaking techniques has led to her current body of work. This work regularly combines structured patterns with organic textures. Her prints are a dialogue between the digital precision of a burned screened and a variety of experimental printing techniques, where one layer often informs and influences the next. She uses various mediums to alter her ink or as a ground for additional layers, and often incorporates watercolors and other paints to add texture and depth. These processes result in unique, multi-layered, hand-pulled screen prints.
