Schizolines

Guillemin’s prints were computer generated on a Macintosh IIcx computer using PixelPaint and PixelPaint Professional software. The images were then stored in their digital form on disk, color-separated on a Scitex scanner, and then photo-transferred to lithographic plates for printing. Despite this calculated and analytical technique, Guillemin seldom provides an explanation for the significance of the images he creates. Certainly, this mechanically-generated image is reminiscent of medical graphic recordings of physical activity. As the title implies, perhaps the patterns are intended to suggest the brain wave activity of a schizophrenic. This particular and complicated case of medicine and printmaking intertwined is intended only to suggest, not define.
