(You can see how this piece was made, from start to finish, in the video at the bottom of this page)
I'm lazy and spoilt.
Wasteful. Ripe and feckless. These are the things that cross my mind when I don't keep a useful offcut because storing it would be inconvenient or I throw away a nearly-but-not-actually-empty can of spray paint because I've got another five cans of the same colour waiting in the wings.
But in a bid to ease my conscience, I decided to make a print using leftover ink. The colours themselves aren't the problem. Afterall, I've used them to print previous pieces. They're. Nice. Colours.
The issue is that there's not a lot of each colour.
So I made a screen print that works even when the ink runs out. I actually really like the prints where the ink is basically gone and each layer isn't fully printing. THAT'S going until you've got nothing left.
And I don't have much of my work up on our walls (I wrestle with every inch of it whilst I'm making it) but I think I'll hang this one up in the print studio because it's probably good to occasionally be reminded to use, literally and proverbially, every last drop.
Oh, and the faded ‘Literally Every Last Drop’ edition can be found here.
