scratching the path

Very remiss ...... also very tired !

Time I showed why I am tired :

I can't remember if I already showed this but it was a drypoint on acetate drawn from another teeth grouping and was used as will be seen later

 

 

 

and some monoprinted variations

 

The first straight print from the first plate

 

 

A couple of monoprint variations

 

 This was where it started to get interesting:

 

 

:

 

then the aquatint was done and a second plate was introduced:

 

 

again with variations

 

 

 

Meanwhile the other image was in full swing going through a similar process:

 

 

 

monoprinted

 

 

a la poupee (ink painted on to the plate surface)

 

 

and this is with the aquatint plate in place  - I will do this again later with good paper

 

Here is the wall in one of its most recent incarnations:

 

Running in parallel with the printing has been an increasing investigation into the business of collage  which I would have to say am really enjoying  - particularly disemboweling my past life

 

 

 

 

What you have seen here are only some of the prints that have been done so we have been very busy in etch block

 

What I will do next is to start having a look at some of the artists who have been interesting me recently and who will have a bearing on where my work goes next - both in the studio and the workshop.
