As I was testing my bull screen, I ran into some difficulties and asked the technician to advise. They encouraged me to go back to basics; like properly setting up my press frame to avoid it shifting, using fresh paint, properly flooding the screen before printing and clamping the frame in a different orientation to make my pulls easier.
It was really good advice because the next run I made and was infinitely more successful. Sometimes we just have to go back to basics and practise our techniques.
All that said, I liked aspects of the effect that my technically wrong print pulls generated and I am going to play with this more; the disconnected layering gives the images a dynamic chaos that suits my overall message.
It’s reminded me that I’ve had it in my head for a while to develop (pardon the pun) my photography. I’ve borrowed a DLSR camera and am going to have a play and be experimental. I’m also going to do some research and try to acquire my own equipment to that end.
