Tracy Kendall is a London based wallpaper designer whose unique and innovative wall coverings have a strong sense of British inventiveness and eccentricity. Tracy allows her Fine Art background to drive and challenge the perception of what can be made into wall coverings often using found objects for their design qualities such as the "lace" and "stack" collections or using the found objects themselves as textures for the surface. The wallpapers convey their design integrity without overwhelming the space, adding imagery or texture to create another dimension to the walls. Some of the collection has graced the walls of museums such as the Cooper Hewitt in New York and has won awards at design shows such as ICFF and Decorex. They have featured in design magazines around the world and Tracy has an international client base attracted to her distinctive and timeless style. The papers can be used in domestic and commercial interiors where it can engage and interact with the interior's identity. Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph.
