Silk Screen Prints

Perhaps my favorite form of printmaking, I make my screens by stretching the silk-like fabric on wooden frames. I then draw a design onto the screen and paint it with a drawing fluid.  I scrape a liquid filler across the screen and this blocks all areas I don't want to print.  Once I wash away the drawing fluid, I'm ready to go.  I squeegee the ink over the screen and the open patches allow the ink through to create my print.

This is the beginning of my orchid series, with a study of the aptly named Dancing Lady Orchid.  I printed numerous times to represent the motion of a dancer.
