Memory object- Shirt

I scanned in all my sketchbook drawings and fit them together in Sequence and altered the levels for screen.

Printed on 3 cotton sheets of fabric

Fabric and pattern

Detail of the fabric. Some of the line drawings didn't come through but Pa told me afterwards when he saw them if I put more extender in the ink that they'd work so I'll know for the next time.

Embroidery

 The embroidery workshop with Marion after easter was so beneficial to my work. I had dappled with embroidery before on  paper but never on cloth with an embroidery hoop and I feel that this is where I want to go with my work in the future.

Ink and straw

My drippy screenprints lead to a series of drawings which I made with ink and a straw.

Photography

Photos taken for digital project of home and the forest outside my work for digital images placing my memories back in their origonal surroundings.

Most of my drawings are done from the subject or from memory but I did work from photographs when I didn't have my sketchbook to hand.

under this objects drawing it says Da sleeps in kitchen. And he was asleep in the kitchen with a birds nest on the table...my home is strange.

Monoprints and drawings

I placed down string and printed in black to recreate the hair net

Glue and carbarundrum, thread and paper

grouping the objects together in a monoprint. I enjoy the process of monoprinting and intend to do more next year but I felt this print was unsucessful.
