EDITION PRINT

As part of an edition box set in which our class is creating for a swap with The University of Chicago, Illinois I made a screen print. I used the drawing I had made of a set of screwdrivers hanging on the wall of the workshop.
My print is a 3 color Screen print.

PRINTS-ETCHINGS

My drawings developed further into prints. From a selection of my images I etched zinc plates and subsequently developed etchings. I also aim to show my plates as final pieces too.

WOODTURNING

I have been thought how to use the turning lathe by my father. Wanting to utilize my new skill and because my work incorporates Daddy passing on his woodturning knowledge to me I want to create a collection of turned objects. These are based on the design of the chisel handles....the tools used to turn the wood. They are turned by myself using American Oak wood. I am leaving them unpolished and raw. I aim to turn a large quantity of them.

HANDS- The tools of the trade

 Essentially the hands are the tools of anyones trade and in my Dads case they were what enabled him tone such a skill full carpenter.  I want to build a collection of photographs of Dads hands, different viewpoints, close ups etc. I aim to emphasis their uniqueness and create an awareness in everyone about how a persons hands can tell a lot about their life.

DRIP DRAWINGS

Developing on from my pen drawings I am creating drip drawings. I am trying to emulate the sense of time passing and use them almost as a metaphor for things fading, disappearing. By drawing with ink, then passing the drawing through water and hanging it on the wall, the ink drips and original image becomes obscured and literally 'runs' down the paper.

Pen and Ink drawings continued....
