And so, with this print (above) I brought together the objectives I set myself for this period of experiential learning. It is a multi-colour photo stencil exposed in my DIY screen printing studio, harnessing the UV in the Mexican sunshine. I used indigo and cochineal for the blue and purple respectively, with the orange scribble printed in one of the Oaxacan earths – all bound to the page with gum guar, which turned out to be my preferred gel consistency.
The imagery itself is from a flakey wall with chalk scribble from the many that caught my eye and that I captured for more prints of this ilk, linking back to where I left my visual practice before I jetted off on this tangent of an adventure!
