Lately I have been making a valiant effort to get back into printmaking. I have been making some preliminary sketches and brainstorming in order to develop some of my previous work to create a new body of work and expand upon my portfolio, however I am still in the preliminary stages.
Above is one of a series of photo lithographs I made in 2010 focusing on the female form in print. The original photographs were taken using a projected image over the model, and four separations were made digitally and then overprinted to create this effect. I further explored this projection technique in some of my photography work, another example of which can be seen below.
I m very excited by the use of pattern in printmaking, and would be keen to explore this further in my work, perhaps using stone lithography. Please check back for further developments on this project.
I haven't posted in a while - since my last post I have been doing some life drawing at a really interesting little place in Oxford called the Jam Factory - It's a great space that offers all kinds of workshops, has a little gallery of sorts, and a bar for that post drawing G+T (sometimes it's crucial after a few hours of solid drawing!) Below are some of my latest drawings. Please excuse the terrible quality of the photographs - they were taken on the go with my iPhone.
