Mykl Wells

"Santa Muxe"


A "muxe" is a Oaxacan reference to the third sex.  Mykl takes that concept one step further, and makes the muxe into a saint.


Mykl Wells of Tucson spray painted over many silk screens frames, to create this 3 color serigraph print at the Tucson Community Print Shop:


Mykl used spray paint
to create the transparencies
which he burned onto silk screens
(one for each of 3 colors)
