I enjoyed working with the technique splicing, as it made me realise that designing a print doesnt mean just producing one whole design. Cutting up the bleached pieces and arranging them in a different way against thick line motifs, created a range of depths and textures with the designs.
I've been working with cling film within a couple designs. Although using cling film sounds silly; it's worked really effectively. I've been wanting to get the feel of watery, blurred layers against deep, dark lines. I really like the finish it's given to my designs; it will be interesting to find other materials which give a smilar effect.
Although it's been a productive week and I've produced a good number of prints, I NEED to stop designing prints at this stage. At this point in the project I need to be experimenting; getting out of my comfort zone and going for it. I know I can design better prints; I've rushed ahead past the initial stages and instead of producing new and exiting rough pieces of work, I've created bland, quickly developed prints.
Next week I will branch out and not be scared to produce weird and wonderful drawings, painting, sketches and much more.
