ARCHAEOPRINT

While completing the final print in the new series of screen prints for Boltby Scar I came up with a word for prints based on archaeological material that I think adequately describes both what they are and what inspired them. ARCHAEO – indicating an ancient time or condition, involving or denoting the study of historic remains. PRINT – to press a mark, design or impression on a surface by pressure, using a device or impression produced in ink. Together they form – ARCHAEOPRINT.

These are the first of a series of screen prints based on information from previous excavation data. So far just the four, but more to follow over the next month or so. The site comprises the Boltby Scar promontory fort, palisaded enclosure and barrows. For more art and archaeology images have a look at last years Scampston exhibition.
