EXPERIMENTS AND IDEAS

I was experimenting with registering the screens down on paper, I noticed later that there were some left over marks from my previous screen imprinted on. Leaving the blue and barely visible traces of pink squares embedded together with the faded purple dots. 

The blue txt was printed first then overprinted with the pink squares, followed through with the print above with a touch of yellow and black. I guess i was trying to create an illusion of sorts where the letters would seem as if it was disappearing into the void.  

This one I particularly like as it portrayed my ideas of the invisible, a black foreground mixed with dark blues and purples to give my following image a distinct opportunity to reveal itself through light. This second screen was flooded with a pure black a semi gloss, for it to be visible through light.

Here I was experimenting around with colour, mixing transparent inks and solid coloured inks for the images to come in and out of the black foreground. I found myself at a stand still when printing this image as it did not come out as i hoped it would. My registration is quite off due to my lack of proper technique.

   

This image above is the results of many experiments, which i find it as one of my strongest prints. The combination of colours here is very effective, the metallic bluish grey printed over the black reinforces the image, followed up with the pink squares, illuminates it.
