I have developed a series of prints using my Silicone mould. I inked up the Silicone mould and run the plate through the press. A very abstracted organic shape was created, full of juxtaposing lines, tones and textures. It is unrecognisable what the print is of, which allows the audience to pay greater attention to the formal elements.
The print has areas of greater intensity which are then juxtaposed by large areas of negative space, guiding the viewer around the image so that it can be observed intensely. To develop, I would like to experiment by adding layers of collaging or perhaps even drawing into the print, as I think that this will add a depth and an additional layering to the print, forcing the viewer to search through the layers, in the same way that in order to observe the aesthetically beautiful within a mundane environment, it is essential that the viewer uncovers layers and pre conceived contextualisations to reveal the real beauty.
