Do You See What I Hear?

Gelli Plate print of the iconic photograph of the Ethiopian Police Band on Washi paper. Multiple figures, appearing stylized and distorted, are depicted in various positions, as if in motion or engaged in some activity. The figures are rendered in a range of muted colors, including browns, tans, greens, and yellows, on a light beige to off-white background. The colors and forms create a mottled, textured effect, suggesting a layered or multi-print process. The figures appear to be superimposed or collaged onto a patterned ground, which is a repeated geometric design reminiscent of a repeating motif or pattern. The overall effect is complex, combining elements of abstraction, figure representation, and a variety of textural elements through the use of printmaking techniques. The image conveys a sense of both dynamism and a subtle, almost symbolic, message, due to the somewhat ambiguous nature of the subject matter.
