Employing my glow in the dark ink alongside a deep sea palette I started mixing up the colours.
Funny as i was printing I was considering the parallels between the lab and the workshop, paint covered apron replacing the pristine lab coat, agar plate swapped for the paint pot and the way everything is labeled and laid out is similar yet obviously the content changes.
So I decided to run two different colour ways both incorporating the glow in the dark inks.
Steadily, layer by layer piecing them together. Due to the size of the screen I have to use the printing arm as an aid: a mechanism that helps make it possible.
With just one more layer to go on the other colourway i’m pretty pleased with the outcomes yet as always technicalities and my perfectionist tendencies lead me to feel I could or should have done better. Specifically the layering, choosing the right colours in the right order to make sure other colours overlap in a desirable fashion, knowledge of which colours ‘kill’ the others in attempt of a solid print. However it’s a learning curve and exciting to be working on such a large scale.
