These are a few of my prints from the intaglio workshop. Looks rather minimalistic but it was the spark that ignited everything else that I'm working on now! My goal was to figure out if I could present the 'inbetween colour'. I found it challenging because there were so many things to take into consideration- how textured my plate was, how long I left the paper in the water, how much ink I applied and rubbed off, how tight the press was etc. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the fact that no matter how much control I had over the technicalities of my prints, the end result would be unpredictable.
Moving along, I decided to switch my materials and went from Intalgio to screen printing.
This is the moment I fell in love with transparency and was certain that I wanted to explore its possibilites. On a slight side note, I watched a video of Spencer Finch talking about the play between transparency and reflectivity. What a great thought. Where do we find the moment where something transparent switches to something reflective? Through time and light?
More coming soon..
