CREATING POSITIVES
Processing the research and observations we had collected, we made the decision to use the 2 parts of the screen print to communicate 2 senses. The base layer documented a linear journey through sound, using experiential sound mapping marks to create base textures, marks that provided clues to characterise to 2nd layer. The top layer ended up documenting the activities and places more literally, applying drawings from all of our sketchbooks to create one map of the day.
While this separation of sensory observations worked well to provide clues and textures to support more representational imagery, I feel it may have worked better had the positives either been produced with a consistent media, or with more minimal details as the end positives seemed to fight to much for attention and the journey seemed less coherent.
SCREEN-PRINTING
The final prints seemed to achieve more clarity due to the choice of colours, however I feel to develop the outcome, we could perhaps look at creating more complimentary positives. Playing with inks provided some interesting qualities. Merging primary colours with their corresponding secondary colours achieved an interesting marbled effect, seeming to compliment the textural qualities of the chinagraph. Experimenting with registration and overprinting created some nice depth and textural details.
