Whilst in the print room I have been able to go back to an idea I have been trying out over the summer using off-cuts from my manifesto screen prints that I made before the summer break. Weaving these off-cuts together create an interesting grid with intersecting pathways of text at different orientations. Parts of the print where the text had been stretched beyond recognition become isolated within the structure of the grid, allowing me to select them to be re-printed on their own.
This process highlights the formative nature of the distorted text rather than its meaning when read conventionally. Initially I am printing them on a small scale so that the viewer can focus on one small element of what is essentially part a much larger piece. Without any prompt the textual origins are ambiguous to the viewer.
