This next project is going to be a playful use of colour. Thinking of how I create stencils in a new way, I'm going to explore organic shapes. These are Fimo shapes rolled flat and baked. Left over from another project- what appealed to me was their irregularity...

A frustrating day of printing...to be continued!





The colours take inspiration from Vogue's fashion trends 2011:

Textile Screenprinting 'Sophie' tea-towel


The image is of Sophie, my cat. In the photo from which I drew it, Sophie is stepping in from the window and I wanted to show her in movement. The yellow panel behind her gives the  image some perspective as her ear is just past the edge, suggesting she's in motion.

Degree Show 2010

Degree show piece, for Camberwell Drawing 2010. Fascinated at the time with the boundaries between colours, and in this case at the point at which yellow becomes orange. There is a stage in the work where yellow is no longer recognisable as yellow, it has become what is recognised as orange, a boundary which is often inconsistent.



The piece consists of coloured light, projected onto coloured squares- one completely flat, the other, the front of a cube. On the flat screen-printed square, an animation edited to run in fast sequence pulsates between yellow and light red, thus appearing fully 3D which by definition is an impossibility. Along side this a static slide-projection of pure colour, illuminates the spray painted cube's surface, throwing it towards the viewer.

when red met yellow

Preparing for the degree show I began screen-printing 20cm squares of colour, working from yellow to red, through orange. The colours were mixed entirely by hand. The prints on the wall were the most successful in terms of printmaking- less smudges and blemishes and of good colour gradation. 



As with printmaking of all kinds, there were just as many that didn't make the grade...



To break the monotony, I occasionally deviated to a new colour...
