I would like to explore lots of different printing/image creation processes for my depiction of the things/objects people feel help them with their anxious feelings.
Initial thoughts of processes I could explore:
Risograph printing
Cyanotype
Linocut printing
Photocopier (xerox, home printer)
Collection of paper types
Cyanotype printing
Printing objects using photo-sensitive chemicals painted onto paper. Or can buy sheets of paper already treated with the chemicals.
Jessie Brennan's cyanotypes - Inside The Green Backyard. Objects found in a community garden project in Peterborough which was threatened to be developed on.
Risograph Printing
Designed to be a high-volume, speedy and low cost photocopier, Riso machines use a stencil-based printing process and colourful inks to produce a result somewhere between silkscreen and offset lithography. Originally manufactured by the Japanese RISO Kagaku Corporation in 1986, Risos were popularly used by schools, prisons, churches, political and activist groups to mass produce posters, flyers, pamphlets and small books. The machine’s unique effects are great for both text and illustration, and with soy-based inks and masters made from banana paper, Risograph printing is better for the environment too.
Rabbits Road press in Old Manor Park, East of London is a community run risograph printing press. They run open access sessions some Wednesdays from 2-7pm. Dates and information below with some images from Instagram of the work created at these sessions.
