My hardest vase prints yet?
Mmm I would say they are my hardest vase prints that I ever had to do in the history of my vase designs. My new vase design reaches my maximum design and concentration compared to making my other vase prints because only this time it is not just pattern on the vase but it is also a picture as well. Also the border line around the vase is very narrow which would make it a lot harder to line this vase stencil accurately over the background colour. There were a lot of missed alignments that took place within the printing process.
What has this difficult vase design enable me to achieve?
I deeply feel that it has pushed me to that one step further in making complicated art works. As an artist no matter how repetitive some works can look there is always that chance of making bigger and better stuff within the same objects such as my vases. I always know that out there is this amazing discovery waiting for me to trigger it off and make it happen but in order to get there, I must keep producing different variations of my vase prints.
Painting is one off, sculpture is one off and continuous but printing is a continuous process even just by using the same design. In a lot of cases with me, I like to keep printing the same vase design until its perfected and once perfected I may print out about twenty of them in different colours.
This is what I like doing because not only I get the chance to perfect it by printing a lot of the same vase design but also I can play around with the colour to see what colours suit the vase design best. This will show me the best suitable colours that will go best with the vase design that I print.
Next plan of action?
Well… I think I will stop here for now until I can think of some better designs and also better ways of making texture and patterns for my future vase prints. I will work on trying to develope ultimate vase design concepts that have never been done before in the history of vase prints. I am very sure in myself that I can achieve this printing challenge and I am sure if what I am thinking about actually works, then it might change the printing world completely. We will see what happens after my degree show.
