Halftone Prints

Pursuing the work with grids of dots using the screen printing process lead me to work using halftone images, which might be considered simply as alternative arrangements of dots on paper. The halftone prints introduce the illusion of depth and three dimensional perspective to the work - contradicted only slightly by the superimposition of a ‘fictional’ orange dot which really has no place at all in the original photograph from which the work is made. The halftone work also develops earlier black and white screen prints derived from digital photography and paper collage work. In formal terms, I see this work as the ‘halfway house’ or connecting point between my 3D work and my grid prints. None of my other work contains this type of illusion, which would rather put it at odds with the rest of my practice, were it not for the orange dot.
