The gilded works have a luminosity that echoes the investigations that Goeritz was making at the time with the stained-glass environments in churches. Light, after all, is a sacred element. Mathias collaborated with the Remba's, founders of the Taller, at their Mexico City workkshop Taller de Gráfica Mexicana and the handmade paper really translated well with the artist aesthetic.
The print is a fine-art paper relief created by hand, it incorporates previously unheard-of detail and sculptural form in a traditionally two-dimensional format.
The workshop produces and publishes handmade paper prints, multiples and sculptures in all media that enlarge the language of editions by incorporating dimensionality and relief into a traditionally two-dimensional medium. Luis and Lea Remba, founders of the high-end art printing company, brought their enterprise from Mexico City to Los Angeles over 30 years ago and with that their name change to Mixografia.
