New print “Tin Mine”

by John Bloor

Tin Mine

I’m delighted to announce this new screen print in my Safe Harbours series which is titled “Tin Mine”.

Inspired by the rugged moors of Cornwall, this is a bit of a departure for me as it sees my work becoming a bit more abstract, whilst still retaining the safe and welcoming feel of my Safe Harbours prints. I have played a bit with foreground and background elements, how they work with and against one another, and also used the overprinting of colours to produce a depth to the print which I am really happy with.

I have been learning a lot about my screen printing technique and I think it really paid off, with colour mixing and registration better than ever.

There are a couple more of these more abstract prints already drawn which I will be printing soon and I expect more in the future.

It is a limited edition of 50 and is printed in three colours on Fabriano Unica Printing Paper.
