Wolf Reduction
13” x 17” Reduction screenprint.
Due to the method of hand printing, the screenprints vary slightly.
Screen printing is a printing technique where a mesh screen is used to transfer ink onto a paper, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil made of photo emulsion. A squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the paper momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the paper and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back once the squeegee has passed. One color is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multi-coloured image or design.
A reduction screenprint is made by painting with photo emulsion directly onto the same screen and continuously printing each color layer until the final image is achieved.
