This print was made as part of our 2018 end of year show Damn Fam: A celebration of people, process and practice.2 colour hand-pulled screenprint50mm x 70mm / on Fabriano Elle Erre' 220gsmEdition of 11About the print The work here is a long meditation on the moon, its phases and effects which includes a quote from the classic Coleridge poem. Her approach to the work is completely non linear, experimenting with textures, collaging and mark making, using snippets of sketchbooks, memories, texts and found objects while playing with exposure times and multi media approaches until a new context becomes clear. The text in this piece was first made on an Adana Press in Imprint Shadow from heavily marked letters from The National Print Museum trays. They were then copied over and over and scanned repeatedly, resized and traced over by hand to include the noise built up by repetition. The white blocks were made by exposing cut out opaque card. The Moon was made by painting onto an acetate, the crosshatched squares drawn on by thin paint marker, and the fencing was created by exposing fabric netting directly onto the screen. By working in this way and testing each element continuously, Brownett puts her own indelible personal mark on the final image.
