I feel like I'm making progress now, not just because I've completed this module by the end of July as I planned but because I'm beginning to understand monoprinting. I certainly have an idea about how to generate certain effects and how to work with the 'accidents' that happen.
I have my own ideas about making prints that have a luminous quality and are atmospheric and I'm beginning to develop a palette that allows me to do this. I want to use the textures that are peculiar to monoprinting in a creative way and I want to generate images that have their own perspective not necessarily from a fixed point, a bit like cubism or the Hockney photomontages.
I guess I'm talking about multiple images in one work, decorative not abstract but around an evocative theme.
Anyway I can spend the rest of this course finding out what I mean!
I've posted two of my recent prints which I am happy with as far as they go.
Made contact with my tutor which is a huge relief as I can't do this completely on my own. She sounds constructive, helpful and professional.
I am away on holdiday at the end of this week and will spend the time doing some watercolour sketches for fun and planning how I'm going to do the next Project which is relief printing.
