Wade Guyton (b. 1972)

Once the canvas has been fed through the printer, it drops unceremoniously to the floor and accordingly picks up evidence of its time there in scratches, dings, and dust. ...And of course, every piece of linen, once unfolded, bears the mark of the central seam, not so much a ‘zip’ as a kind of vertical navel. Each painting thus bears proof of its process – the one real constant in every iteration of the series.
