Screen Printmaking

Circa 2016, before Trump was elected, I had just gotten into self taught silkscreening for the first time and was churning out t-shirts, posters and other kinds of protest-art-ephemera (between the resistance against building pipelines, volunteering at a free clinic, Trump, and promoting socialism via pro-Bernie rallies, I had a lot of material to work with). Unfortunately when I moved to Mexico City, we had to give all our equipment away.

I’ve recently been interested in giving it another try (though with less good equipment setup for sure- no more handmade four color press and exposure table for me, sadly). My first piece is laying in wait for the next opportunity to wave a sign or march in a tshirt. I’m working on other nature related works at the moment too, but having an anti trump sign on hand felt cathartic.
