Printed Pictures: Collaging with used monoprint stencils




An advantage of monoprinting is that it can also produce interesting patterns and colours on your stencils, leaving them to be potential pieces of work. So I scanned these in and created a couple of images using photoshop. It is a shame, however, but I am not a massive fan of these - I feel that they look stark against the white background, and the colour palette is pretty distasteful. Within the brief, as well, I was particularly looking forward to having produced a final outcome that is not digital printed, but has a very handmade quality created through screenprint, monoprint or lino. Although, it is a potential idea that I could use these shapes to create positives for screenprinting, whilst trying to retain the texture and colour of monoprint.
