My Printmaking Process

​

In my fine art practice I work predominantly through the medium of screenprint. Fine art screen printing is a process that involves transferring ink through a mesh screen onto a substrate, in my case paper, to create a print. The screen is coated with a photosensitive emulsion. An image or design is then transferred onto the screen, creating a stencil. Ink is applied to the screen, and a squeegee is used to force the ink through the open areas of the stencil and onto the paper below, creating the printed image. The process is repeated for each color, using a separate screen and stencil for each color.

 Using simple shapes, I assemble abstract compositions that seek to explore ideas relating to harmony and belonging.
