Emma Mclellan

Emma Mclellan an artist who is  working through screen printing which she also has an  interest in history of  screen prints and books of animals,who  especially loves to think about odd animals like animals that are born incorrectly which i  find rather interesting and  bizarre why a female artist  would find  abnormal mutated animals fascinating  because most  females would react in anegative way.When Emma creates  her print works, she loves to use panel  rather than paper, because  she finds it much easier .Emma  draws animals mostly imperfectly and mutated , When she does her screen prints she uses  a soliwet techneque through her screen prints.Another way when she explores  her art is  that she scans the pictures of animals from a book and photoshops it and re mashes  and uses cut and paste when mutating the animals which she really loves doing.


Another Artist who works through screen print is an artist  name, Xavier Meade,  who is an contemporary artists he creates prints  through poster making, design poster of myths and legends  of culture beliefs of Christianity and stories. base from mexico and and english Maori. ,Xavier  collects poster  in year 1920s, year 1959 and is  an artist researcher. in Mexico the art work Xavier produces, are  all  hand drawn,  cause of  the issue of price of paper, cannot afford large paper for printing so they are drawn by hand, which is really difficult  to achieve a perfect image.Most art work were drawn in A4 size.

  1. Hi Ronald, I feel like there are a few inacuracies in your understanding of the print making process that Xavier was talking about. Have you done screenprinting? What he was saying is that they don't have photographic emulsion in Cuba like they do in NZ, so that you can't expose your screens to images and have them fixed there - instead they have to create carboard stencils which they draw and cut out by hand - very labour intensive.

    Also, I'm surprised that you are surprised about Emma being a woman and being interested in unusual or deformed animals. Why make this generalisation based on her gender? I think you must have a very narrow definition of what women are interested in!
