Hand-finished screenprint with pigment marker pen

Also known as a silkscreen, a design is transferred onto a mesh ‘screen’, which is stretched over a frame. The design acts like a stencil, blocking out specific areas of the screen. A squeegee is then used to force ink through the mesh, transferring the ink onto a sheet of paper below through the permeable areas in the design. The image is printed one colour at a time and demands careful registration.

The artist has drawn over the screenprinted image with psychedelic patterns using a highly pigmented marker pen, to create this unique work.
