A hand screen-printed border run straight onto the wooden floor of Wallop, the Didsbury bar, a black Greek-key meander tracking around the edge of the boards. Printing onto a floor is a different job to printing onto paper, the surface is old and uneven and walked on, and the ink has to go down in situ, on hands and knees.
I like putting the work where it gets used rather than where it gets looked at. A border on a bar floor gets scuffed and spilled on and mopped and lived over, which is the opposite of precious, and exactly the point. It becomes part of the building instead of a thing hung on it.
