TESSELLATION COLLAGING
We can print the tessellation tiles on aprons, t-shirts or other cloth items, collaging them together to make an overall print like the work of the late Michael Roman.

who taught me how to silk screen in the 90s
at the Mission Cultural Center in San Francisco
Michael Roman printed vests and t-shirts for Santana,
The key to the overall print is using paper "masks":
The night after (September 18th) I laser cut some tessellation "hat" shapes in paper -- the exact size of the "hat" linocuts -- to be used as "masks."

After printing tessellation tiles on aprons or cloth with Gamblin Relief Inks, we can cover the "hat" tile prints out with the laser cut paper tessellation "masks," and then push color over the apron through a large silk screen frame.
In this fashion, we could silk screen all the white areas on Henry's apron with color:
