building blocks


Buildings finally finished! Granted I'd hoped it would be bigger but here it is in all its decaying glory.

Last Monoprint



Tried to print my layered sketch of the people over this monoprint wasn't too happy with it.



Woodcut printed over and over until the ink faded.

Printmakers


Leah Mackin: To create her meditative prints Mackin first runs her original drawings and folded paper sketches through a photocopier several times making subtle changes to the image as it passes through. The final geometric patterns are created from monoprinting. 




Angie Hoffmeister: Copper etchings of people layered over each other.


Weimen He:



Christine Baumgartner: 
These are woodcuts...woodcuts! Taking from video stills Baumgartner has shot herself of everyday life. Her prints, often several metres long (makes them even more amasing) are concerned with the modern world and  technology, planes, trains, motorway and traffic and it ties in well with my print brief Urban (us)

Woodcuts


 Took the people from my layered sketch decided to use it for my woodcut took ages! Combined it with the warning no trespassing sign from the building site but I prefer it on its own.

First Monoprint



Decided to run with the image of the concrete building on the abandoned site.
This is my first monoprint with cry colours. I think I'll use my sketch of the layered people and etch it over these prints to fill an isolated space.



When I was printing out grey squares to do more monoprints and Des suggested I make a big building from those squares I loved that idea so here's the start..
