I have been developing a body of free hand screen prints. Using a small squeegee I have been tracing random lines across the screen to produce abstract outcomes. The more that I use the squeegee the more that the history of previous marks comes through in the prints. No two can ever be the same as the ink on the screen, and therefore the resulting prints, are continuously changing. Each print contains parts that are more visible than others, highlighting certain parts of the text whilst other parts are obscured by the ink or become faded beyond the point of recognition. When compares alongside one another however you can see the relationship between the prints, and where parts remain hidden on one they are highlighted on the other. If you want to grasp the whole image you have to look at several of the prints in succession. I have tried to stretch some of these prints onto wooden frames to see how they reacted with the wall space they were hung on. I think that together prints with minimal printed material work well, however the denser the print becomes, the more that it is needed to sit on its own. Printing onto fabric has produced different results again, the resulting prints are lighter and almost come away from the fabric’s surface.
