prepared for teaching

print showing the colour possibilities when working in transparent layers (though we won't work with cmyk)

transparent green in layers printed on soft transparent plastic. Would be great for working with shadows

I printed on woven glass fabric - it gives the image a pixelated feeling. Bubble wrap is also great for pixelating.

Now I've finished preparing most materials for the screenprinting course I'll teach for HDK  (the design school). I think it's important to not just talk about different ways of working, but also to be able to show examples (... and not just show my normal way of working!) I'm looking forward to seeing what my students will come up with!

printing a summer meadow

In two weeks the big format screenprinting course will start. The focus is installation in space/scenografi rather than editions/prints on paper to be framed. I'm making some material tests and prepare some prints to show different techniques. Today I printed a summer meadow ... which is quite far from what my own art is about. (No, my art is not about happiness, even though there might be laughter.) 

first I cut some simple stencils

the stencils stick to the backside of the screenprinting frame thanks to the capillary attraction. I then painted flowers and such on the open mesh, filled the rest with green screenprinting ink - and printed.

Voilà!

Here I repeated the print (with some variation to make it more interesting)

another print, detail: layer on layer and with slightly different colours.(I think it would look nice as a textile print. On a summer dress?)
