REGIONS

From tape to stencils, and friskets to dodging - masking techniques have been widely used across all forms of traditional image production for centuries, allowing artists to protect certain parts of an image, while isolating others for specific changes.

For his 10th consecutive 13-week deep-dive, 'Regions', Anselmo focuses his latest exploration on the application of these methods to control image diffusion.
