Printing on acetate...

While doing some more stitching I managed to print onto acetate in colour. I wanted to see what my text experiments would look on a clear film. They all looked really interesting and worked really well on acetate. I also decided to layer some of them together, and create new images from them.

I am considering putting them into the interim show, but I need to discuss this with my curators and see what direction they would like me to go. I think if I was to have the acetate pieces in the show I think I would either have them hanging across the space (PS2?) or have them projected onto the wall which I also like as it turns them into a bold statement and changes the space completely. I also like the idea of having them displayed along with my textile pieces. Have them on the wall while having the acetate pieces hanging down from the ceiling. But these are all ideas which I need to suggest to the curators.

I might see if I can project these onto the wall when the spaces are free just for documentation purposes as I would like to see what they would do in the space and how they would change them. I think I might also frame them as well, as I think they would also look interesting as final pieces on their own.

I also have an idea that involves placing these acetate printouts over different backgrounds such as different imagery that depicts protest, feminist movements etc. I think this would be interesting to see the text put into different situations rather than it just being text on it's own.

Things to do next:
*Layering?
*Projection and documenting?
*Discuss and show work to curators.
*Place onto of images - specific imagery?

Screen Prints & Lino....

After doing the CMYK prints, I decided to experiment with the prints. The first lot of experiments I used my lino prints and printed on top of them. I had also cut out some smaller lino designs to print alongside the main lino print, and also decided to cut out most of the background and the text of my main lino design. I then printed each design separately - the main design first, then the flowers, then both lino's together. I really like how these designs have come out. I might try this out on my newspaper print, and then possibly stick it in a public space? Something that I'm considering. I like the contrast of the bold images over the text and I feel like these alone would be an effective series. I might just stick these up in a white wall and document them as a series to see what they would look like. Perhaps even individually. I might take this further and do more prints, perhaps experiment with different colours and perhaps introduce an element of collage, even perh...

BA2b - SELLOT Exhibition: Planning and designs....

As well as Anteros, I'm helping to organise another exhibition in relation to the ARTAGRAM exhibition that we did near the end of BA2a. For this exhibition we decided to explore the idea of commercialism, and what is considered art. We are using the gallery space as a pop shop instead, and will be creating products that we will hopefully sell. The products that we hope to sell include t-shirts, prints, postcards, sculptures, craft pieces and so on. For the initial stages, we have been brainstorming designs for the name of the exhibition, postcards and the initial poster designs and colour scheme. For the postcards, I made some designs based off of my practice - using feminist slogans and gender symbols. I stuck to the same colour scheme of pinks, whites and teal - which are going to be the main colours used in our publication. I experimented with different effects on the text, used the same techniques that I used for previous di...

INTERCHANGE: Japanese Book Binding....

For the first workshop of the interchange event I chose to do Japanese book binding. I thought it would be good to learn a new skill, and after creating the books, I thought I could use these in our SELLOUT exhibition. There are 3 main types of Japanese book binding; Yotsume Toji (four hole) binding, Kikko Toji (tortoise shell) binding and Asa-No-Ha Toji (hemp leaf) binding. I chose the four hole binding and the tortoise shell binding. The first stages of Japanese book binding involve folding sheets of Japanese paper in half. We folded 20 sheets of paper in half to create 40 pages. We then flattened them down with a bone tool, covering the folded pages with photocopier paper before doing so. After the folded sheets were flattened, we collated them together, cut another sheet of paper to the size of the pages, which would be then be stuck to the cover later on in the process. Once the backing of the cover and the pages are all aligned, we then measured out the margin for th...
