This is a 5 layer print based on a petrol pump found in an abandoned service station in East London. I've used CMYK (and orange!) to break down the contours of the pump and give it a rust-like quality. In the print, the fuel is corroding the pump from the inside and this is bleeding out through the stark colour layers. This was another tough layer to register and line-up and the detail is very fine, at times just a single pixel. As a result there are differences between each print, but I feel this adds to the edition and further highlights the degradation of the pump from pristine condition to rotting and useless.
