Screenprinting
As part of my print making module I experimented with screen printing. I had a lot of experience in this as for my final project at a-level I created a series of Feminist Posters which can be seen by following the button below.
Following the theme of depicting sights of my North American travels, I chose to create a design of the Brooklyn Bridge. I took a series of Film photos whilst walking across the bridge on a sunny December morning, and used my strongest photo for this design. It was put into Photoshop and adjusted into four tonal layers. These can be seen below.

Before going straight into these prints I also created some simple paper-cuts, depicting Depanneur Cafe, in Montreal. These were simple cut out paper stencils, with some experimentation with crayon layering.
