Printing

I used the inspiration I gained from visiting the exhibition and previous cultures I had looked into to create prints. I created shapes and then used the printing equiptement, I really like the effects this technique allows me to gain and I decided to work back into some of the prints using pencil crayons and drawing inks. I then decided to try the sewing experimentation I had previously used to develop them.

 

I tried to create a shape which was similar to the idea of the japanese vases but with more detail and one that could lead to a repetitive pattern, I worked on top of geometric paper as I feel this provided a more experimental, interesting piece.

 

Further prints on top of the inside of an envelope, I worked back into these using pencil crayon to add colour. The piece on the right hand side is inspired by the indian culture and the 'tear drop' shapes.

 

Here I have worked over the print using sewing and drawing ink. I like the experimental feel to this piece.
