About Corita Kent Serigraph
Corita Kent printed as a nun in the art department of Immaculate Heart College, pulling screens flooded edge to edge with daylight fluorescent ink. Her sources came off the street — Wonder Bread wrappers, Esso signage, the General Mills Big G — torn, crumpled, re-photographed, then cut into paper stencils.
Nothing in the work is drawn cleanly. Edges are torn, separations land a few pixels out of register, and hand-lettered scripture curves around blobs of flat colour. The sheet is never white: it is covered in ink at full pigment strength, and the type shouts across it.
