The Use of water floating printmaking as a Sustainable Alternative to printmaking and Reducing waste artistic creation through natural pigments

บทคัดย่อ

This researcher's experiment is a study to invent a printing process that does not use a printing press and to reduce the waste from creating printing images using a printing press. Many printmaking techniques rely on the printing press as an important tool in the creation process. However, limitations such as large size, heavy weight and high price limit access to printing presses to create prints, and the use of printing presses often produces toxic materials along with the printed works. Studying and experimenting with printing processes to replace printing presses, using natural materials and materials that disturb nature less. The development of the water-based printing process and colors from natural materials has the following objectives: 1. Study and experiment with printing processes using water as a material, so that they can be reprinted without using a printing press. 2. Experiment with printing processes that use natural materials to their full potential and disturb nature and the ecosystem as little as possible. Starting with studying and inventing a printing process that can be used as a substitute for printing, marbling art, and using technology to help use natural materials more efficiently. And experimented with developing printing on the water surface by using latex glue to support printing colors made from natural materials, mixed with oil as a solvent for use in creation until they were able to create a process of floating images that can be printed repeatedly, which reduces residue or disturbs nature less. It was found that the floating image process has a unique form, namely traces of wrinkled colors resembling leaves, the clumping of colors on the work, and also providing clarity like printing with a printing press.
