Daisies

 

 I started researching what type of symbols are used for innocence of children / childhood, and the main one that I came across was daisies. I took some photos of them and worked with them to screen print.

 

 

 

 

 This is the final image I went with

 

 

I screened a bright yellow onto various types of paper: white fabriano, card, handmade paper and tissue paper.

 

This is the reverse of the green tissue paper. I love the way the tissue paper has soaked the ink in different areas.

 

 

I then reversed the area to be printed on photoshop and loaded the image onto the screen. I then printed the daisies in black - to imply innocence being destroyed.
