This was a series of prints first made during a Santander funded residency at Frans Masereel Centrum undertaken as part of my Masters in Fine Art at the University of Northampton. The work from the one week residency was then continued back in the print rooms at the university. The premise of the work was that I undertook a four-colour separation screen-printing process but instead of registering the paper, as would normally happen in this process, I registered my body instead. I placed marks on the floor that I always had to hit to ensure I was stood in the same place. I set myself the rule that even if part of the process misaligned I was not allowed to correct it. As a result, although it was the same image printed repeatedly, the shifts in my body resulted in radically different prints.
