A contemporary mountain art print on Somerset White Satin paper, hand pulled by the artist Sherrie-Leigh Jones in her Brighton printmaking studio.

Technique
This artwork was created by assembling a digital collage, made up of many layers of photographs taken on travels, before being taken into the print studio. The image was printed on a transparency and a mesh screen was coated in a light sensitive emulsion, which was left to dry in a dark room. When dry, the image was exposed onto the screen using UV light, with the black parts of the image blocking out the light, meaning that the emulsion didn’t harden on the darker parts of the image. The screen was then washed to remove any unexposed emulsion, leaving the image on the screen to be printed. Ink and graphite powder were mixed with printing medium and a squeegee was hand pulled to push the ink through the mesh on the areas of the exposed image, onto paper to create a screenprint. The print was then hand finished with graphite powder.
