Wear and tear

Artwork for a duplate-cover, edition of four, for the artist BELP, JAHMONI MUSIC / Schamoni Musik, Munich.

The series consists of four unique, used LP-envelopes.

Three LP-envelopes have been photographed, these photos (with the user traces) have been silkscreen-printed back on the original LP-envelope. The fourth, the pink one, has been directly exposed on the screen.

Ode aan de emulsie

a series of various works made from different screen print emulsion

multiple material and multiple sizes

2023

Residency at Plaatsmaken Arnhem 2022-2023. Some of the results were shown at Rozet, and later that year in a duo exhibition with Derk Müller in Plaatsmaken, Extra Layer.

In screen printing, the photo-emulsion is used to create a template on the screen, this is the image you will print. This important facet of the screen print technique is isolated and put into the spotlight. It is shown as the work in stead of part of a printing technique. Photo-emulsion comes in different colours and every workshop has its own specially chosen brand and number.

In this series I gathered the different emulsions from the workshops I have printed at. I also got offered a few extra from colleguescreen printers. The different colours are the variety of the emulsions.
