Every year I try to take part in the 20:20 box set run by Hotbed Press in Salford, near Manchester. It is the only time in the year I ever make an edition so I try to use a technique that I haven't used before just to make life more interesting. You make an edition of 25 and send them off and in return to get back a box set of 20 prints, 19 plus your own. This is the most exciting part for me as the printers taking part are from hundreds of print studios around Ireland and the UK and I love opening the box to see what I have.
My last two prints have been figurative and to be honest I would have liked to do this again but I was without a press and decided to do something abstract that could be easily reproduced.
I meant to photograph each step and started off promisingly but then I got caught up in making zines for the Limerick International Publishers Salon and caught up in experimenting with print processes and so I forgot to photograph the latter stages and the finished print which makes me a nob end but there you go.
So when I get my box set I will put up the finished print which ended up by incorporating some sewing as well but below are a few steps in between.
