Folk Art Influence
This print was created via screen printing using a stencil technique. It means you don’t need to create a screen using photograph screen printing photo sensitive solutions. All you need is re cycled newspaper which hasn’t been printed on. Every newspaper company run very big printing machines and to save production time they take of the rolls before they are completely run out. They are then sold off cheap. I can remember buying myself some my moons ago from the Nottingham Evening Post. What I liked about cutting into the paper is it reminded me of lace or contemporary lazer cut fabrics. The paper cutter paper is on its own a lovely piece of creative indulgence. However I used it to print onto various types of paper. I am very interested in the Japanese papers in an off white or winter white colour. I am also interested in developing backgrounds to print onto to create more interest and uniqueness.
Concepts for this screen print was to use vintage 50’s style influences with ideas taken through British based meadow plant life.The mood board below has some secondary research and some photographs of wild forna taken locally were I live. I usually create mood boards to help me with my creative direction. The sketch to the right has been created to add a bit of folk influence for the next stage of this design process. As it stands it needs to be made more formal ,using a compass and a ruler to map out design and make it repeat properly.
I would like to create some repeat patterns.
