Lunna Wola (V), from Paper Reliefs
1975
Stella and Master Printmaker, Ken Tyler of Tyler Graphics Ltd., collaborated with paper making experts John and Kathleen Koller to make these groundbreaking reliefs. After the paper pulp was applied to the specific mould, Stella would work with the moulded paper reliefs whilst still wet to hand-colour the paper with dye, colour pulp and dry pigments. Once dry, he then hand-painted the geometric shapes within each of the 183 reliefs using acrylic, watercolour and metallic paints.
Named after a town in the Grodno region of Belarus, 'Lunna Wola (V)', is a key part of the 'Paper Reliefs' series.
