Screen Print Workshop- Skills 6
9th October
Today saw the beginning of the print workshop under skills 6. This workshop consists of two sections; print and etching. As I am part of the first group, I am doing screen printing first. The brief required the use of a background image for the screen print section and an etching for the object.
Initial Responses and planning in sketchbook
Screen Print
The image I have chosen for my background is a image of intertwined roots, locked onto a rock. This was taken in portugal; valley of the lakes.
1)The main reason for this was in response to the brief; the library display setting. The site specific work will therefore reflect fluid concepts and information flowing over one another in the library setting. Each individual's information intake in the same space concerning different subjects and ideas. Each root is a book/idea/thought generated from the space rich in information. The tree's natural form also draws reference to the innate desire for advancement, though some of this advancement, that may take place could be of detriment to other areas of advancement. (plastic based sculpture and environmental preservation-one's view as progression, another's regression).
2)The roots used in the screen printing workshop also visually document the current feeling within myself of many aspects of life intertwining together to cause a complicated system. The aspects I am referencing here are issues such as environmental change interlocked with consumerism interlocked with government gain interlocked with a capitalist country. This complicated chain was what sprung to mind when these roots were presented to me, so desperately clinging to the rock, as humans are to survival. Yet at the same time, the complication is its own peril.
SCREEN PRINT PROCESS
-Coat Screen in light sensitive paint
-Leave to dry (3 hours)
-Print A3 Imagery (Two layers) in bitmap format (greyscale)
-Expose negatives onto Screen
-Print first colour
-Print second colour
