Independent Printing

Following the session in the printmaking workshop, I enjoyed the process and outcome of screen printing so much that I decided to book another session in the print room to work independently on my prints and create another series in a different colour. This time I mixed a pink colour to use as the base layer of my print. The pink has connotations of compassion, nurturing and love, which I felt reflected the text in a similar way to the calming nature of the turquoise. I also chose a colour that would compliment the turquoise when presented side by side, and to further tie the prints together I used the same shade of grey for the second layer and outline of the print.
