polystyrene and spoon printing








Plate was a piece of polystyrene block, carved with a knife. Inks are infact cheap poster paint as its all I had left at the time. Had to use a spoon to burnish the print on the paper as I don't have a press at home. They're a bit crude but I like the results. Top one's my favourite. I'm not sure you can tell from the photos, but the prints have a lot of texture; I think its a mix of the poly-plate and the paints.

*The imagery is a reflection on my upbringing in a rural environment, mixed in with nightmares I've been having recently.
**Its not about emotional turmoil, sod off.
