Screen Prints - Boat Series

Over a few years I had taken lots of photos of boats and their environment at the marina in our neighbourhood. A half dozen or so of these photos were worked into studies and three became woodblock prints. At one point I wondered if the images might also have a life as screenprints. I had been taking workshops in water-based screenprinting at the Open Studio and was excited with the medium and its materials.

Continuing to work with boat images in the screenprinting medium, my goal has been to simplify and strengthen the images, accentuate the colour and hopefully make them more of a print-like image. 

I also find it interesting to think of the nature of the images themselves, an object (a boat) and its distorted reflection, (its other self), in relation to the hockey fight series.
