Hi Josephine,
Having worked in the printing industry the Offset and Screen
Process Printing terms are all quite familiar, some out of date though, but hell most
peoples experience with printing is the ink that comes out of the end of a pen, and who
could blame them. ink stinks.
I think there should be more of this type of thing, everyone should write a work about
their jobs in poetic form, Ill add one of mine, but it's sort of twisted, it describes
digital flexography, sort of.
Cheers
Rob
X Curve
There's an algorithm
for the construction of phenomena.
Plotted, pointing to the formula
that lay between 0 and 5%
Never do the file values meet
the measured figure.
The X Curve pulls
the added points
up to follow
but not repeat
the phenomena line
Entered from the host into the image setter
it converts to a diode pulse.
Transcribed on the matt black carbon
the X Curve and its values
for the construction
of phenomena.

The last two times I asked for feedback, no one responded.
Here's a new offering anyway.

intaglio
to pull this print
someone etched the lines on my heart
with a cold steel pin
and filled the scars with blackest light
dried scabs pressed onto paper
darken in sight
blanketed black and white
serigraphy
for this print
you stretched me tight
and pinned me down
skin to skin
I thrummed at your touch
as you pressed against me
and ooozed through the silk
squeezed me
and drenched me in colour
wet rubber in your wake
