Monoprints, ghost prints and ink jet prints

In the last post I included a photograph of the large (full sheet of Fabriano Rosapina if you're interested) thread prints I've been making.  I ink up a large piece of acetate and lay sewing thread, strand by strand, on the plate.  I have the time taken to get the threads on the plate down to about an hour, sometimes it is boring, other times it is pleasingly meditative.  Then I take the print and a ghost print.

I am currently using the ghost prints as bases for ink jet prints of images from the factory.

Here is a selection of the work to date.
