i’ve been looking at a lot of photographs i have taken over the last year or so relating to an ongoing investigation and interest in ‘unclaimed and reclaimed spaces’
i started to make drypoints from the photos to make up a series of work, i really enjoyed drawing freely on the copper and decided i should get back to drawing so i’ve just drawn from the photos onto drypoint card and then printed them using the caligo inks as i am in school so trying to steer clear of oil based inks.
the problem i’m having is i prefer the photographs, i like my drawings but i think they would be better done from life and i can’t help but think the photos would be better developed as gum arabic prints..
