This book explores a method of silkscreen printing which involves applying thick dye paints or print paste directly on to the back of the screen, allowing it to dry, and then printing off with more dye paint or print paste. In this way the print medium is gradually dissolving the dried on dye on the screen, breaking it down to print an evolving array of colours, marks and textures, and producing interesting distressed, organic and disintegrating effects.

Polychromatic screen printing is for painters, monoprinters, watercolorists, textile artists, screen printers, deconstructed screen printers, and anyone interested in obtaining multiples from one painted image on paper or fabric. Why labor over one painting when you can paint once and get multiples? This innovative process produces a limited-edition series from the original painted screen - with no color registration. Similar to an extended monoprint process, it yields 4-6 prints from a single painted image. For all levels of ability. No solvents are used. This method combines both painting and printing. It allows the same flexibility and spontaneity as painting on paper or fabric. You simply paint all the colors of your image directly on one print screen. One pull of the squeegee prints the image onto fabric or paper. Then pull the squeegee again for more prints. This newly expanded book is a complete step-by-step manual for the process with 88 photos and 11 illustrations. Included is background information for traditional screen printing, highlighting the distinct advantages of polychromatic screen printing.

For thousands of years humans have experimented with various methods of waste disposal—from burning and burying to simply packing up and moving in search of an unscathed environment. Habits of disposal are deeply ingrained in our daily lives, so casual and continual that we rarely ever stop to ponder the big-picture effects on social, spatial and ecological orders. Rethinking the ways in which we produce, collect, discard and reuse our waste, whether it’s materials, spaces or places, is essential to ensure a more feasible future. Waste Matters: Adaptive Reuse for Productive Landscapes presents a series of historical and contemporary design ideas that reimagine a range of repurposed materials at diverse scales and in various contexts by exploring methods of hacking, disassembly, reassembly, recycling, adaptive reuse and preservation of the built environment. Waste Matters will inspire designers to sample and rearrange bits of artifacts from the past and present to produce culturally relevant and ecologically sensitive materials, objects, architecture and environments.
