Polluted Purity, collaboration with Kai Field

This was the design i used for a screen print. It was my first time doing screen printing, and it provided many new challenges such as the limited colours allowed, as well as making so it didn't get ruined if the design wasn't aligned perfectly. 

for the final product i printed on thick paper, which i believe was water color paper (my teacher didn't tell us) and we folded and ripped 12 sheets which we printed on, we did this in order to give the print a more handmade feel as opposed to cutting it which would look more machine made and less like it was actually printed by hand, which it was. 

in total I made 12 prints with the help of Kai Field and we both signed them, and numbered them 1-12 with one being the most accurate to the original design, and 12 being the worst print.

each step of the printing process was done by hand, we exposed the screens by using a UV lamp and a b/w transparency print of one of the colours (NOT gray scale, as you can not do gradients using screen printing) 

we then washed out the screens and mixed our colours which we then pressed through the screen using a squeegee. the process was, pour the ink on and flood the screen, then pull, flood repeat. we pulled each of the 12 prints with doing the blue first, then red, and finally the black outlines.
