Last year around my birthday i was doing deco-printing.

The fabric came out nicely and i overprinted a left over square with a print gocco master, my beloved "purinto gocco"that i had hauled all the way from Japan. i was testing fluorescent pigments and wanted to see their printability.

Results: nice; lovely pink fluo motifs but somewhat discombobulated (lovely puzzling word, there is no combobulate).
Or as husband- san, the resident critic, said "it's very abstract (snicker,snicker)":)
The fabric needed a unifying element desperately and so it was put down to rest.Yesterday the weather was hot and dry and i brought out a thermofax screen and tried some more over printing with a there's not much to lose attitude. Coincidentally the thermofax and print gocco technology are the same, so it is quite surprising that Riso wants to discontinue the gocco .

Results:
the linear elements combobulate(ha!ha!) the fabric.
I think you're right, the screen elements do combobulate the piece. (oooh, the spelling taliban just kicked in!) Do you have plans for more combobulation? What about some stitching?
ReplyDeletei like the husband-san/critic comment.
ReplyDeletei just put up an abstract indigo piece on the wall so i can look it over and i get "interesting..." -and we all know what THAT means...
but i do get satisfaction from making these things and breaking away from the "product" making.
funny how often something good comes out of those not much to lose moments - it's got an interesting structure now - love the layered colours too. Look forward to the next combobulation.
