Through painting free hand onto a screen, I explored the idea of turning my object into an idol and so I began to create an image to show this idea of adoration. I mixed my own colours, I wanted a palate that was bright and vibrant that similar to something you may see in some religions that worship gods and goddesses. The screen prints came out great i think, I just need to go over them in detail with some line to create shape and form. I further developed the above process by screen printing it over an already etched image from a previous week. I wanted to give the impression that the radiator thermostat was glowing, like the golden bed knob in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I wanted the image to scream 'wow look at this amazing object'.
t was interesting - my flatmate, who knew nothing about my project, after seeing this print said, "oh look it's a radiator thing" and then looked at the two above prints and said "and this is an abstract radiator thing". This comment was very pleasing because he was interested firstly, he found the object bizarre and wanted to know about my project but also because he know what the image was, especially in the above prints. The etching under the screen printing ink doesn't quite work as well as I had hoped as it masks out the black line so i think i shall etch on top of the screen print - this is my next move.
