Print Making
Within my practice at University, during my second year on my Fine Art course, I decided to begin specialising in Printmaking. Something that I had experimented with slightly the year before, but not to a full extent.
​
I've worked a lot with painting and mixed media work throughout my education, meaning that print making will probably be the most tidiest form of art that I'll ever create. The processes themselves can be quite long, Silk Screen Printing especially is quite tedious after you've coated your 7th screen of the day.
​
Silk Screen printing is my preferred method of print, even though I know how to work with Mono, Lino, Collograph and other forms of print; I will always return to Silk Screen printing. The precise prints that you can make, the possible colour combinations and the ease of creating a screen and recycling a screen all speak to me and want me to continue working with the technique.
​
Within my current art practice, I do struggle to create other prints due to time schedules. I'm hoping to have quite a substantial amount of other forms of print in the near future.
A lot of my Print work follows the format of a lot of Pop Art printwork from the 60's.
​
I create my final prints by taking an original image that has been taken by me. I edit it multiple times in photoshop in order to isolate all of the different areas that I wish to print, I print them all out at the same size and then continue to place them all onto screen.
​
Once on screen, it's then just a matter of lining up the layers perfectly and then printing them in different and contrasting colours (usually based on the base colour of the image).
