deconstructed screen printing i



the one who writes this is less interested in regimented instances in life and more in serendipituous happenings. take screen printing.i've done the orthodoxies but the rigidness is a fun killer. stressed bcse prints have to be on register, if not they're considered faulty.extra care so as not to strain the borders with paint etc etc. and the clean up is not fun at all.i can do it and get results but where's the joy?
years ago -omg 15 years ago life is moving too fast- ಠ ಠ  i tried deconstructed printing when it became popular-then people moved to the next new thing and it was forgotten. the technique resonated with me and i liked the results,but i was caught in the acts of living ¯\ ( ツ ) /¯ 
i thought i could re do it but this time with natural dye printing.
this is going to be an exploration because i am mixing techniques and trying out different procesess so bear with me.

here the cloth was placed on the semi wet screen to cathch the texture. tomorrow i'll print the dry screen with clear gum and see what happens.in theory the gum will act as a resist i want to see how much of a reisit,if it's viable for resist printing  as well and if it then prints well with the thickened dyes. some options :
  • print with  clear thickener
  • print with thickened dyes
  • immersion dyeing
  • repeating he printing clear thickener procesess  and 
  • then printing with dyes.




economy, gathering the drips from the screen on a cloth. think this one will just be printed with thichened dyes.
