At last, the second edition has been finally completed, now with a second colour variant.
Beyond the obvious play on words, this silkscreen print is about the print journey and the ‘printyness’ and happy accidents that differentiate something like this from an exact, computer printout. It’s the small misregistrations, the overlay of inks, the over- or under-inking that gives silkscreen prints and printmaking in general their appeal, or it does to me! Otherwise, I’d just print out digital prints directly from my computer. It’s the transition and human involvement that interests me.
This edition differs slightly from the 1st edition with a few colour changes. The background blue is now a gorgeous baby blue and the ochre colour that made up the body of the text is now a shiny gold. There is also no glitter on this edition, as I felt the fluorescent red was strong enough with a paler blue, and didn’t want to gild the lily.
All people who contacted me after the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, where the 1st edition sold out, have been allocated a print, so don’t worry, you won’t miss out again.
Please email me if you’d like to buy a print.
