PAPER GEOMETRY (II) Mono Screen Print on Corrugated Card w/ Copper, Avocado, Indigo & Oak Gall Inks

This one of a kind, original mono screen print is made using indigo, avocado, oak gall and copper inks. Printed using a biodegradable, plant-based modifier onto thick, corrugated, handmade card stock. All prints are packaged in biodegradable film. I use no solvents to expose or clean my screens. Price includes P&P.

This paper reminded me of lenticular stickers (the holy grail of stationery when I was a kid). It’s a horror to print on, but gives the work a beautiful texture which catches the light. Size 27cm x 40cm.

Inks:

• Grey/Black: knopper oak galls, found under an oak tree in Reddish, Stockport
• Brown/Red/Rust: avocado stones, bought from Morrisons, Reddish
• Turquoise: Copper scraps from my dad's garage
• Blue: indigo, from GOTS (global organic textile standard) certified dye extract

Although every effort has been made to protect the colours from UV degradation, plant-based inks are not as lightfast as plastic-based inks. You should not display this print in direct sunlight.
