Development of Silicone Prints

Silicone Print with Inks 

Silicone with Collage and Screen Print 

These are developed silicone mould prints. I prepared abstract screen print backgrounds, to add a depth to the prints, as elements of the colour from the screen print is drawn through the negative space of the silicone print. The bold colours of the screen print, juxtapose the dark shadows of the silicone mould, highlighting the intricate lines and patterns of the surface texture. Collaged tissue was then added to conceal elements of he print, with shapes cut away to mimic those outlined by the silicone mould. I think that these prints are successful in that they emphasise the intricate lines and textures, and draw the viewer in through their soft mottled and fractured lines. However, to develop these further, I think that a series of varying silicone moulds should be constructed, to create a sequence of prints mapping an urban area and the aesthetic beauty that can be found within it.
