Focused Printing

 I have managed to hone my box printing technique to some extent. The following prints were made with more intention, applying what I've learned form my experiments to achieve moire consistent results in the hope of producing a print for the exhibition. printed on heavy mount board for durability and a softer off white shade that's a little easier on the eye than stark, bright white paper.

repetition print of 3 boxes chosen to to represent the shapes of a factory type building, the viaduct and the church. all notable structures found in Ilkeston. 

great coverage and colour graduation coming through here. applying ink to some parts with my fingers before using  roller to blend, using a green/khaki base colour and adding on.

blues and greens, the more trashed with ink the boxes become the more interesting, textures it creates. perfect coverage for an aged, mossy, paint peeling effect of old plaster and brick work.

this print was made by high pressure on the roller to lift the last faint traces of ink from the card. I love the textures and almost translucent layers this method produces.

comparing results. the prints become more interesting the more the boxes get loaded up with layers of
ink.
