This piece—part of the Process, Progression experiment group—was made with a larger screen, and diverges from the previous Flock experiment. Here, we did NOT step-and-repeat throughout the work as before, hoping to avoid the wet ink transfer and ghosting so prevalent in the previous step and repeat pieces, while also hoping to avoid all those little parallelograms sticking in the wet ink and having to be picked out after squeegeeing. The progression was instead accomplished by squeegeeing 2×2” sections in alternating directions with randomly applied ink colors over one contiguous large screen, resulting in a small amount of tiling pattern.

Well, we avoided the messiness of the step-and-repeat, but like a thousand of those little bits stuck in the ink and had to be picked out by hand one by one with an exacto blade. I’m very thankful my super-encouraging and enthusiastic and sweet and helpful studio assistant @violet.anne_ , who participated and offered ideas throughout the creation of this one, and jumped right in to help with this tedious concluding task.

More experiments to come.
