Lots of exciting making this week!
I finished my cardboard pieces. I really liked the colours
and textures that emerged. The collaged
laser cut pieces gave the idea of my presence in my creative work. The
collaged photos gave a kind of industrial, yesteryear black and white-ness that
appealed to me. The mixed media worked
well; the compressed charcoal toned down the acrylic colours and gave a kind of
mucky, industrial feel, which was just what I was thinking. I would like to
work more with textured grounds and also perhaps with a series of pieces.

I also laser cut lots of heads and worked them up into an
image of increasing intensity. This was an it that had its roots in something
that someone mentioned at the crit. It is a depiction of the increasing
intensity of this term on the MA!

I also spent a day working on my etching plate. It's a
simple drawing, but the black etching ink brings out the industrial quality of
the subject matter and the inherent dirt. I worked on differential inking of
the plate and this gave convincing results. I really liked working with the
plate and this is something I would like to do more of.

Other than that I am up against it for the module deadline
and I am on micro-management. The overall plan is booted out in favour of
detailed lists that must be achieved for delivery. Time is very tight, so I'd
better stop blogging and go get on with my creative journal!
