This poster was created with the Troppo Screenprint Social Club - during a four hour workshop I ran with TROPPO, on Sunday 19th March 2023. We worked collectively to develop a work addressing social &/or political concerns - that was our brief!!

Together we created a work that reflects the chatter we have to deal with - the chatter in our minds, from those close to us and from society. Each layer of words/chatter reflected the types of chatter that distract and (sometimes!) disturb us. We compressed the layers of text to 2 separations and printed the whole poster in the (VERY) busy afternoon session. The ink was hardly dry by 5pm but everyone had a go at printing on the one-arm & took a print home. It was a fantastic, hectic, awesome Screenprint Social Club session!!
