serigraphy
Ink through mesh
Serigraphy is the art or technique of screen printing, particularly when applied to fine art rather than commercial reproduction.
Ink is forced through a mesh screen onto paper or fabric, with a stencil blocking areas that should remain unprinted.
The term emphasizes the artistic rather than industrial applications of the process: The museum's collection includes several examples of mid-century serigraphy.
