A limited edition screenprint released to coincide with the artist’s forty-fifth birthday, on the occasion of the opening of his solo show “All of it led us here.“. The work depicts the lunar phase as it appeared over Toronto on the night of Luey’s birth, rendered in his signature 45° halftone reduction—precise, restrained, and quietly charged with private significance. The palette draws from his birthstone, emerald, in combination with a colour of personal resonance, and joins a chromatic system the artist has maintained throughout his entire print output: all works are composed exclusively from CMYK values corresponding to the digits of his birthdate—05, 21, 81, and 45. This constraint operates simultaneously as signature and cipher, binding each edition to the others and to the artist himself across geography and time.
