Text Art, screenprint, ink, paper, Embossing, Braille
When I took this on I was firm in my mind that it was letterpress and text all the way. However, the more time i spend in the print room the more my head heads turned by other processes and presses. I still return to the letterpress as is seen in this...
This is not to shock but it is a play on words and i like the 'Nothing' versus 'All' conflict.
I have tried my hand with the embossing, both with the letterpress and the embossing press. I think braille, and the sign language alphabet are going to require further research.
This image doesn't really do it justice, or maybe i'm biased. Then finally there is the screenprint and i can see how i have improved.
I can see here how i smudged, how it bled. I have improved my ability to tape up the screens. And i have become more consistant at my pulling the ink over the screen. But i still have a very long way to go to become a good printer.
