Grassland Sunrise

This print is part of the exploration in a continuous printing technique. A large amount of colors were printed consecutively without stopping to clean up. In serigraphy, cleanup is usually done between every individual color. 

In the continuous printing process, there is only one stencil used, and that stencil is printed repeatedly while moving the paper laterally under the screen between each color. Every time the paper is moved, a small amount of a different color ink is added to the screen. This shifts the color gradually over time. The entire edition is completed in one printing session, without stopping to let prints dry, or to clean up and switch colors.

Artist Bio:

Tony Clough is the master printer and founder of Serio Press.

"I have to try and squeeze in what I can of my own work in the small amount of time I get between contract editions for other artists. After spending most of my time striving for perfection in serigraph editions for others, I like to try and do things differently for my personal work- to exploit the process however I can. I balance out the pressure involved with constantly printing other artists’ work by bending and breaking the normal rules of printing.

I like to explore processes and build systems which, in a way, make art on their own with little to no input once the process has begun. By separating myself as the artist from the minor decision making parts of the process, my pieces can come to life on their own without too much influence along the way." - Tony Clough
