Things I Like to Do
After a conversation with Mav at port2port today it dawned on me how much I don't include on my blog. I know its impossible to cover everything but some things most definitely should be making an appearance, like my love of printmaking.
Its been well over a year since I went to the workshop and did any kind of printing and I just don't have the facility at home to do it. A lot of my prints I have given away as presents or sold or they have been framed (like those above) which makes it difficult for me to photograph decently. But I thought I would give it a go and every now and then I am going to post about my prints, even if they are old and maybe it will spur me on to do more. It will also start giving you a wider picture of who I am and what inspires me. There are other things that I am interested in too, but for now I will leave it with the good old printing.
The above image is two separate screenprints. They are both angels. The one on the left is called 'Fallen' and the one on the right is called 'Guardian'. I printed an edition of 6 of each of these and I only have a couple left now. Apologies for poor quality of the image, these are both framed so there is a lot of reflection and the illustrated text is a bit blurry. I need to work out a formula for photographing them.
My prints always cover subjects that mean a lot to me or something that has inspired me in some way. This makes them very personal to me.
