Easter...

Were half way through the two week Easter break and I feel so disoriented at where I am and what I need for the criteria, I don't have my work space I don't feel free to create like I was in my bay. Over the past few days I have managed to organise other parts of whats needed and have managed some pieces which seem to fit well.

STAG.


A trip to Scotland and my parents return with a stags skull antlers and all.


My project has turned a corner and texture has became a main focus allthough animals dont really have a place in my work the structure of the skull and the emotion it brings does.


Eye socket.


Nose.


Jaw.


Nose interior.

Snippits of my day...


 Today i created these long paper designs, iv tried to make them interesting in texture and form using Tracing paper and the negative option on the photocopier.


Latex and ink work amazingly together, but stinks when applying it!





The photocopier failed to feed the tracing paper through but its a happy accident i guess as the top layer hasnt printed so leaves the hues of colour uncoated.


I realised ink and varnish particularly wet varnish created a beautiful organic line once dry, i love this idea and now have used it as a detail connection to flow through my work.


And away we go!


Im starting to look at my photocopies onto tracing paper again, and i have decided that i love the layered element of the piece so digital print onto organza maybe an option ???

Ink and Varnish

As i have changed my specialism area i feel i have to change my blog name as it no longer holds any connection with my work. Hope everyone likes it.

Tutorial...

Feedback from my tutorial could not have been better, we have came to the conclusion my designs will be better suited to textile art peices insted of fashion for mens wear. In a way im relieved I can concentrate on my work now and have the freedom to use mix media without thinking all the time about how I could make it into a manufacturable peice. I love menswear but feel that my work has moved on and im really excited about it!

7 weeks to go...

I have started a new screen to add texture to my prints as the nature of my project demands this detail, i have used some of my earlier drawings to put forward into screens things like barbed wire, silhouettes of body and their outlines i will be printing from this screen tomorrow so any good results would be fantastic!
