I wondered what would happen if I squeegee in half circles, dropping inks into the screen randomly. Both these prints used the same technique and colors, but the look of the second one is affected by the action in the first. In the same way that screen prints I did with a stencil years ago in this screen still show up as ghosts sometimes in new prints. It’s cool to see one piece echo in the next one, whether screenpainted immediately after, of years later. It introduces ideas of memory and permanence/impermanence. And I like making the choice to accept the nature of the medium with its irregularities.
These screenpainting experiments are the messy pinhole-camera side of screen-printing’s photo-exact pursuit of perfection. Please note that the image of Process, Progression #4 is a temporary, non-adjusted photo of the piece, and it’s color clarity and saturation in reality is the same as #3.
