Dry-points

These two dry-points are not really part of my project. To be honest I got bored and went on to these. I hadn't done a dry-point yet so I seized the opportunity and came up with these. Hopefully I can expand this idea a bit in the up coming semester. They were inspired by drawings (below) done by Jenny Saville.

Mono-Prints

When you don't feel like doing much, and your brain is fried from thinking, and stress, this is what you end up with..........Days of messing = Mono-Prints.

I like them because it reminds me of painting. Unfortunately the quality of these pictures aren't very good because of the glare.





Wood Block

Print from Wood cut

The block before I started to cut into it.
This is my wood cut. The quote in the corner says, 'Adam was Just the Dress-Rehersal.'  The prints varey alot, mostly becuase I used white acrylic on the board so I could see what I was doing. This picked up alot of texture when inked up. I'm not a big an of wood cut.

I am Woman-Stitched

I altered this screen-print by sewing the face, and adding depth to to word man, and the cord.
