Screen-printing
Fractal images were also used for some of my projects in Screenprinting. A canvas-like texture was sought to emulate a painterly-look, albeit with an exaggerated weave size. It was an interesting amalgam of the three media – printmaking, digital and painting. The very fine detail involved with the fractal made it somewhat unsuitable for screen-printing, as the points can be smaller than the gaps in the screen, but nonetheless I was keen to experiment.. Figure 9 shows the canvas texture in the first layer, with an abstract design printed next and the fractal as the top layer. Figure 10 was printed with the layers in reverse order.
