Midgley's screen print captures the essence of a scorching summer's evening at sunset in Yugoslavia through a succession of melting stripes of colour stretching in bands across the horizon. The process of screenprinting is thought to have originated over a thousand years ago in China but was introduced to the West in the late eighteenth century, and then popularised by Andy Warhol in the mid-twentieth century. Midgley masters this highly skilled process to make an exploration into line and colour.
