This is a makeready collage—a print born from a makeready sheet. The makeready sheet is a paper I screenprint on to start the ink flow, clean the screen, or check print quality, layering it with colors and patterns through multiple print sessions. Over time, the sheet becomes a vibrant, evolving thing. Occasionally, a portion reveals itself as a complete image, a moment where process meets spontaneous magic. Sometimes it's the entire sheet; other times, like here, it’s a specific area I’ve cut out and mounted on support paper. It feels both crafted and serendipitous, as if it came together on its own.
