Artwork description:

The Kestrel is an 8 layer screen print depicting a kestrel in flight. Over the course of a few weeks I went out with our trusty hound to photograph kestrels at one of our favourite places to walk on the south coast.

Once I had all the photographs I needed I layered them up in a sequence I was happy with and then screen printed them in the studio. This was probably the most complex print I had made at that point because the ink I use for printing changes over time, so the transparent white ink I mixed that day would have changed over night and become more opaque the following day so would then need watering down a little to achieve the desired colour. An interesting learning curve but was well worth it.

8 Colour screenprint, hand coloured with ink on 300gsm Somerset paper.
