First thing this morning I got an hour to myself to cut and print my relief block prints. These prints will form the top layer to my pages. They will sit about 1.5 cm above the ink jet prints of the city. I drew out an abstracted and architectoniccomposition and cut it into a jigsaw of separate shapes and inked them in black and gray. I then reassembled the shapes to print and used layers of differing tone and some additional shapes to create varied compositions.
My intention with the imagery I had devised was to create a sense of the new architecture of the city which has engulfed and dwarfed the older buildings and neighbourhoods in the recent new developments, especially in Liverpool One and the waterfront areas.
Then everyone started arriving and I had to stop work and I started helping them out.
