Silkscreen Printing - 'Notions of Identity'

In print now (yay! :) ) and our brief is 'Notions of Identity' which we will be investing through collagraph and silkscreen processes. I'm starting off in silkscreen. For my notion of identity I'm contrasting the identity of Clonmel ( the town I'm from) with the identity of New York ( a place I recently visited and loved ). As well as the identities of the places themselves, I also want to investigate my own identity and how it differs in the 2 places.


Pages from my sketchbook:















I started off doing prints of the view from the Empire State Building. As it was quite a detailed photo I first put the image on photoshop, changed the levels and added a bitmap to it so the image would hold the detail when I transfered it onto the screen.
