Silk Screening

My final alternative process for this assignment is silk screening. The objective was to silk screen something marketable. After much consideration and a few failed attempts at choosing a picture to posterize on photoshop; i went with the "cliche" of a picture of the Eiffel Tower to print on a pillowcase. I took this picture on a trip to Paris last March, and it is one of my favourite photos.

The next step in the silk screen process was to transfer the picture of the Eiffel Tower onto a screen and then expose it to light. From here I had to wash away the emulsion and use fabric paint to print the image onto the pillowcase. The end result is something I am quite happy with.
