Close Up Etchings

that i made for my outcome 2 wall piece.

I was etching for about 7 hours to get these

4 plates done last week and i'm really

happy with how they came out.

Space is often seen as scientific, whereas place is personal. So collection is based around the idea of ‘Science of Memory’ highlights areas of the brain that deal with memory which I made by etching and relief printing which I liked as the process of printmaking gives an aged quality without being a pastiche.

"The Science of Memory'

Outcome 2 is a physical manifestation of my findings on space and place,

I wanted to explore how interaction transforms a space into a place.

The bare wall is an impersonal space that is transformed into place when

viewers physically interact and place the objects on the wall.

Interactive element is important as I want people to impose there own

idea of how the objects should be arranged and how the space should look.

Beardy Man Take 2

I did an etching workshop for the whole of yesterday that was just lovely. And, having taken my sketchbook with me, i recreated my beardy man on a zinc plate and spent the last hour or so printing. It was so lovely learning the whole complicated-but-not-really process of what i though was just scratching into a plate and printing and i made sure i made notes so i can amble in there on a friday and just do it myself next time. My prints are still drying in the etching room so i'll just have to content myself by scanning in the plate covered with my greasy fingerprints.
