The film is used to expose a screen that has been coated with light-sensitive photo emulsion. Once the screen has been exposed to a bright light with the film vacuum-suctioned to it, it is developed with a pressure washer. The areas where the film was black get washed out, and the rest hardens. These areas that washed out are now open mesh that ink can pass through. A squeegee is used to push ink through the screen onto the paper. Each image is printed by hand, so slight variations may occur.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProcion dyeing, also called Fiber Reactive dye: I get my dye from Dharma Trading co. and do the dyeing in my washing machine at home. The process involves dissolving the powdered dye in enough water to cover all of the fabric I'm dyeing, then adding salt and soda ash to ensure the dye will be permanent. The vat needs a lot of stirring and agitation while the bandanas are soaking. The whole process takes about 3-4 hours and produces deep rich colors that will not fade even after repeated washings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABOUT THE ARTIST\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI studied printmaking in college and worked at a fine-art screenprinting studio in Brooklyn, New York for three years before taking time off to focus on my own work and travel.
