According to Riva Castleman, Joan Mitchell worked on her prints in 1958: "Although she started with one tusche and glue screen, she went on to create eight paintings on Mylar, incising her paint strokes with a broken tongue depresser, and they were then photographically made into screens." (Riva Castleman, "Floriano Vecchi and the Tiber Press," in "Print Quarterly" (Vol. 21, No. 2, June 2004), pp. 138-139.
