Screen print exploration

 I wanted to explore current Hebrew letterforms through the medium of print. One of my key practices in finding out answers is to explore through screenprint methods. I have become accustomed to this method of communication through its materiality nature and the systematic response it takes to generate imagery.

However, it is important to explore first ways to create such imagery digitally to test before the next stages of processing the screens. This allowed me to generate different modular letterforms using grid systems, this has been part of my ongoing research to understand letterforms from the modularity perspective. 

I wanted to consider different compositions to test out via screen printing, so I created the imagery first via Illustrator to see how they may look. The idea was to explore Latin and Hebrew letterforms within their alphabets. 

To add further context to these prints, I wanted to communicate the value of modularity by showing the importance of testing modular shapes to create letterforms. 

Having printed my designs and then going through the process of screen printing, I was able to test different ways to generate imagery, through the use of colour, layout and composition. These aspects became clear to what I was trying to figure out within my current research journey. 

My methodology was to explore each design systematically to try to underpin the value of each modular letterform that had been explored through each print and to follow a modular approach that will further my understanding towards the value of modularity.
