Silkscreen refers to a screen of fine mesh used whilst screen printing I take the process of screen printing literally, by building colour in overlaying chords and metre across the original stencil. There remains some bleed and blemishes as the ‘ink’ doesn’t always print correctly. The work was inspired by elements of industry within Manchester, applying similar ideas of process and industry to music.
