This book explores a method of silkscreen printing which involves applying thick dye paints or print paste directly on to the back of the screen, allowing it to dry, and then printing off with more dye paint or print paste. In this way the print medium is gradually dissolving the dried on dye on the screen, breaking it down to print an evolving array of colours, marks and textures, and producing interesting distressed, organic and disintegrating effects.
