Analysis Of Sorts - Sunday 4th March
Looking over my recent work with monoprints and felt tip drawings, comments and quips on the modern world. and just generally get some direction. So far I'm pretty pleased with how things are going and ive not got bored yet which is always a winner.
After starting off with text only mono-prints both using stencils and moving the ink around towards the end of the day I started to include text and images, icons, compositional items into my prints. Along with the selection of stencils inverted and such. Beginning to experiment more freely was good. Looking at the work these later stencil works are definately the stronger images. Something I think is also important is the way that there is a residue left behind in the ink from previous prints. that is one of my favourite things about monoprinting is that its a process which shows itself through the work.
I also began to think about how layers can be used with monoprinting using greaseproof paper for its slight colouration and see through qualities to build up a more complex and deeper image which keeping the work flat and vibrant. The think pigmented areas of ink. the arrow as a symbol was the starting point for this piece and runs throughout with virtually no type throughout. I think if i begin to consider the method for printing more throughroughly and how the image is constructed in this way then they can only improve on what i have done so far.
scaleing up my method of working made me feel free-er to explore ideas, and it also speeded up the creation of images aswell.
I think that continueing with a similar line of engagement whilst bringing in other elements such as shapes, forms, icons, symbols along side the typographic parts of my work to counter-point each other, also trying multiple colour prints could be worth while and very achievable with stencils.
Aim: To continue along my current line of investigation and ideas using techniques involving stencilled monoprinting and photocopying to present my written work.
