"Match Girls: 1888"

2023

When I started learning different screenprinting techniques, I decided to start a series about the historical mistreatment of women in the workplace. I started with the Matchgirls’ Strike of 1888, as I wanted to highlight one of the first women-led worker strikes. I used an original matchstick red for the single color. I took this color and created a split fountain with a blue that is representative of the blue heritage plaques in London.
