So the exhibition Simulacrum comes to an end. Last day is Saturday, tomorrow. So a few more photographs of the installation. The residency continues, but next week will be take down the exhibition instead. So a bit of a delay to proceedings, but new ideas do await. I have been teaching printmaking at the Ipswich Institute for a term and much of it so far has been lino, so I tried out some of my ideas as well as making demo examples for the students, and I think that the new simulacrum may well have some pieces made by using other techniques rather than just screen printing. I got a portable printing press for the teaching which will do everything, as I have tested intaglio and relief printing methods on it, but it does have a size restriction. Ah well, got a residency for larger work. I am going back to theory, as well as work in the sketchbook for a couple of weeks and rethink things, and see what else I can develop. I have enjoyed working with the students the last couple of weeks so I will enjoy getting back after the big take down and sort out.
