Because one part of my module is to create a printing portfolio and combine two techniques, I decided to use monoprinting and riso printing. PART ONE: MONOPRINT Monoprinting is a technique that is usually made either by transferring oil based […]

It’s the start of a new year and the start of new art work. Currently I am visiting my repository of photographs and cropping these in different ways – fragments of fragments in a sense and seeing how I alternatively […]

On the 28/04/21 I wanted to finalise one of my prints for the printing workshop. As discussed with Srin last week, it was thought to include more of the black to frame the work. We spoke of censorship that comes […]

After discussing my first prints for the Riso with Srin last week, I wanted to get more hands on e.g. think about layering, the formation of colours and possibly text. I created these stencils with no bitmap to play around […]

This it part of my man in isolation project, having seen so many masks dropped onto the floor I imagined them falling from the trees. I’ve printed the paper using frottage and relief printing both with masks. The paper was […]

Next week we are due to attend the Northern Community Rail Conference 2019 in Leeds. We’ve had to order a Dwell Time Issue 1 reprint to have at the conference as we’ve practically run out of copies!  It’s due to […]

We’ve been flat out busy. We made our selection for the newspaper, laid it out and are preparing to send it to the printers on Monday with proofreading and final amends this week. It’s more like a booklet than a […]

DHL messaged to say my postcards were arriving today and Marc the Printers emailed to tell me my booklets would be ready for collection at 10am today. I updated my DHL information saying they could leave the package in the […]

It’s my exhibition opening at Brighouse Library on Saturday! I’ve been working flat out all weekend and juggling exhibition prep with prep for another event I’m doing on Thursday: Interchange. I got my publication off to print on Friday, postcards […]

I sent 8 x A3 prints to the printers on Tuesday and spent yesterday writing and compiling a 24 page booklet to accompany my exhibition. It’s had two checks so far with some bits and pieces like typos corrected and […]
