Prints

I have been doing mono prints based on my old book I made, I have two processes of them done already and I must do another print over them on Monday sooooooooooooooo they turned out good ..
With the excess ink I had to take off the acetate I engraved into potatoes to make potato stamps which gave a different shape of type font too. ( great fun)


I really like this one as I printed it wrong and it came out backwards . I think its interesting how it makes you want to even read what it says although the writing is reverse!













POTATO STAMPS:
 These were fun, almost bringing back the memories of Junior and Senior infants. It was an experiment  but I enjoyed and like how it turned out.






Uhhhh tea and coffee stuff !!





My bad..... tis been awhile...opps

Hey sorry for getting back on this so late, I hadn't any camera to upload any work so  i have a lot for ye to catch up with what I'm doing............
Anyways I got most of my ceramic pieces glazed, and still NOT all of them...hym... well tis something, so i have a few images to show them in a transparent glaze / or glazed.
I have been experiment alot with my project that I had in the corridor revolving around thoughts and memories of people. This was a great success so thanks for everyone who took part. With the post-its I enlarged them to A3 and put them altogether, I think it worked out pretty good.


This is very large on the wall in the corridor, I had then extended it again bigger than this!




 I have been working a lot with old thoughts and memories and the most important thing is typography.

I have made an old book with tea/coffee stained photocopies of the post-its, I really enjoyed experimenting and working with typography and seen what works and what doesn't.

 
I used jellies sweeties and love heart sweets that have thoughts on them already. I thought this was really fun to work with.

 I worked with fleece and latex which was interesting to see how they turned out.







I done a few more of these but I must document them and they are also in my sketch book. These were a lil wee bit time consuming but I found it fun to searching for different type fonts in news papers and magazines.





Here are some images of the ceramic pieces.....
