SCREENPRINTS
This series of twelve images, originally hand drawn in ink on paper, have been re-imaged as limited edition silk screen prints.
Each image is in an edition of ten.
The images (57x41 cm) are printed on Somerset Soft White Velvet (76x56cm) printmaking paper
by Robert Clarke a.k.a Inkflood: robert@inkflood.co.uk.
The original images have been selected from a collection of drawings made over a period of more than ten years. I don’t plan the images but they do get inspired by things that interest me like the relations between science, culture, technology, history, war and nature. There are common elements to most of these drawings. The atomic pixel like dots, the woven and convoluted patterns reminiscent of Celtic knots and Islamic arabesques.
These geometric networks are also similar to the spiralling trajectories generated in particle accelerators when subatomic particles are smashed together spitting out vortical tracks suggesting a dynamic abstract sub structure underpinning 'objective' reality.
