Today was the first proper day of my residency! I wanted to explore texture in screen printing so I printed some blocks made from a variety of materials on the relief and intaglio presses. Mark transferred these prints onto screens along with some mark making excersises I had done on mark resist paper. In the afternoon I began to overlay the textures using colour. 

As always I'm thinking I haven't achieved much, but tomorrow things will seem better and I'll begin to realise ways I can use what I've done in my project. The trick is to realise when it's time to sleep on things.
