Claudia's Mammogram part 1

Claudia had to mentally remove herself from her body during a mammogram. This is the first of two panels. Around her head you can see some of the thoughts that she is using to forget the glass panels crushing her breast. I did this piece for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Thanks Dalia.  I truly appreciate your kind words.  This piece has been in the works for a couple of years.  I had the head and the breast, but wasn't sure how I could get the glass panels to be tightly fixed to the board.  I also need to mull things over.  I am glad is is finally finished.

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion. 

And this is the completed screen ready for printing.  I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).

I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
