prints

Strengthening my drawing within fine art has been important not only for printmaking but for future reference aswell. Repeating patterns and creating dresses out of these would be just a starting point, I think prints like these would make for diverse and interesting clothing. As I have a unique drawing taste, I could defiantly see my work coming together as a body of unique garments in the future. 

I always knew I wanted my final major project to revolve around printing. Forw printing is my calling I both enjoy and create good prints, which makes it seem like half the job sometimes. I have a real passion for printing, not only the work I become to create but artists aswell, this fmp has allowed me to explore printing and artists, it has helped me to appreciate all different aspects of print and artists, I have been able to take inspiration to create my own work. I would not of been able to of started this project without a base of research, it has definitely helped me in many ways. 

 

These are my dry point printing ghost prints, a ghost print is basically the print left over after the final print has been made, it is put through the press last and printed onto a sheet of newsprint. These ghost prints have actually captured the piece really well, this is obviously due to the left over ink. Personally I think my dry points make made my exhibition come alive, for me they were the definite focal point, they were my most successful prints and they are truly beautiful.
