prints


this is a series of prints i made before moving towards sculpture. printmaking was my module choice last year so i spent most of the time in the print room, working on screen prints. screen printing can be a little tricky at the beginning as the whole procedure requires know-how,precision and CLEAN hands. Once you get the hang of it, its fairly easy and extremely efficient, and thats what i loved about it. If the work station is well organised and clean, it allows you to produce a large amount of individual prints that are all hand-made. I personally find digital prints quite boring. they are flat and have no errors. A screen print has a bleed line, grain, texture and tells a story of craft, just like a brush stroke.

 a new table

the workshops at our university are cleaning up for christmas and that means a lot of stuff gets thrown away. if you're lucky, you can find hidden treasures within all the rubbish.one piece that stuck out was a big cut of cotton wood tree.it had coffee table written all over it. i sanded it, made four legs and gave it 2 coats of varnish. i'm very happy with my new table.

similar to the toaster pyramid, just smaller and cute. a little present for someone dear.

NIFTY

after two months of preparation and a lot of hard work, we finally set up the space for the show. stu and me spent two days with only two hours sleep at the venue to curate the show and get everything right. it was all very last minute. quick decisions had to be made and a few things didnt work out as planned, which was a little disappointing. nevertheless are we very happy with the result. thanks to everyone for the support.

its four days till the show and the pressure is building up. packing work, getting lighting, hire bar staff and van-man and many other things that i did not mention but must not forget. exciting times.
