Manchester- the clearances Print - Limited Edition of 4

Description: I used my own family photograph, chosen for its pathos and screenprinted with layers of colour to signify the Manchester Slum clearances of the 1960s a planning disaster that separated my community. The artwork was created with number of other screenprints based on Geevor Tin mines in Cornwall and used as a metaphor for destroyed communities as part of my final degree show, this one was chosen for exhibiting in Brick Lane, London and the Regents Park gallery. The image is contemporary and leaves the viewer to their own interpretation. To create it was difficult to handle on a large screen whilst ensuring the offset image landed where I wanted whilst fighting with the stiff paper which wanted to roll back up again instead of remaining flat. It is one of four I made of this image. All are slightly different in placement of abstract shapes and colour tone, the image remains the same and printed slightly offset deliberately. One has sold in the UK and another to a customer in Norway. This is the only one now for sale. I chose the colours as a nod to my families Celtic background when they emigrated from Ireland to Manchester in the 1800`s. Due to the size of the print I am unable to reproduce this again as I have no access to the equipment since leaving college, although I have experimental prints at A4 size made before printing the large ones and other images. Please ask for photograph if interested in purchasing any of these. The large screenprint is supplied in a tube for ease of delivery and to save transport costs and for your own personal choice of presentation. The dimensions shown are the actual viewing area of the print plus extra for the border of the paper size which allows for a mount overlay.
