⛓️SILKSCREEN EXPOSURE SUCCESS ⛓️

One of my favorite/humbling parts of teaching yourself a craft is realizing that even after 10+ years, there’s still always something new to figure out.

Spent the last few weeks troubleshooting these six 110 mesh aluminum screens because I was exposing them like my usual 230s 😅

Turns out lower mesh counts hold way more emulsion, so they need a lot more time for the UV to fully cure.

The winning formula:

☀️ +10 minutes exposure

☀️ 7 inches closer to the light

Tiny adjustment, huge relief. Now I can finally move on with my life lol

This book presents a comprehensive view of the work of American painter Philip Taaffe (b.1955), who has expanded the parameters of painting through his use of silkscreen, linocuts, collage, stencils, gouache, chine-collé, marbling, acrylic, enamel, watercolour and gold leaf. Possessing many technical skills, Taaffe has moved decisively between unique pictorial inventions and appropriations, as well as overlaying divergent modes of representation, through cultural patterns found in ornament, and biomorphic abstraction.

John Yau's insightful text is the first to look at every part of Taaffe's artistic development, from the works he made at Cooper Union while a student of Hans Haacke, to the present. It pays special attention to Taaffe's acquisition of different techniques, as well as investigating his various sources of inspiration, which include the work of experimental filmmakers Stan Brakhage, Bruce Conner and Harry Smith, the Natural History illustrations of Ernst Haeckel, and the ancient art of paper marbling.
