STICKER (for Big City Orchestra) Multiple-pass color copy print. Used on many pieces on this site, the technique was developed and used mainly between 1982 to 1997, and involved running the same piece of stock through the color copier several times, building up layers of toner and imagery. Nowadays, these effects can (almost) be achieved using modern desktop computer methods, but without the subtleties of tone and textural impasto effects of ink on top of ink.
