MY FIRST SILKSCREEN EDITION

The theme of the assignment was Beginnings and Endings. I chose a lyric from an Of Montreal song "our particles are in motion" to represent the idea that we are always changing, and constantly in transformation and movement. I wanted to layer into this concept it's relationship to our solar system and how it as well is constantly moving and revolving, and how this system reveals time as we experience it. The background image is an image of particles, and I added the planets as a hand drawn element burned onto my screen. It was so exciting to see it all come together.




The edition is mixed of two variations. I noticed that the fluorescent pink showed up better when printed over a lighter color, and gave more of a pop, so for the second half of the printing process I printed the planets in a lighter color and then went over and offset it in fluorescent pink to add depth and suggest slight shift or movement.
