Teddy Bear Mono Print

Here are some Mono Prints, well the print and the negative, of some teddy bears. I then coloured some parts in with paint, materials and pencil.

Project on Secrets

For this project I chose to look at the idea of hiding a secret, but it always being with you. Looking at the idea of a label allowing someone to know where you brought a piece of clothing from but at the same time being hidden from immediate view. From this I looked at the idea of having a footprint leaving a part of you behind, that could leave part of your secret behind, making you appear normal, but giving away the truth within.

Manners Alphabet Prints

These are some of the prints that I created based on the topic 'Manners'. I created 26 designs one for each letter of the Alphabet and designated a 'Manner' to each letter. Using different printing tecniques I then created different outcomes, the above being the most successful. I used Lino prints, Mono prints, relief foil print and used different coloured paper within some of them to get different results.

A Thousand Splendid Suns

This is a piece of work that I did based on a paragraph in the book 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'. I used ink, paper, pencil, paints and printing to create this scene.

Above is the final installation/exhibition I created as a Celebratory Memorial towards my Grandad.

Below are some of the individual mono prints that I created using the same image. There are images with paper collage, pastels, sweet wrappers, tracing paper, food dye, inks and the original plastic sheet I used to draw the mono prints on.

Mono Print with paper collage based on a Fine Art brief from my Foundation at Wimbledon. The brief was concerning 'Memorialism' of which I chose to base it on my late Grandad as, although I didnt realise when he was alive as much, he is an inspiration to me and a big part of my life that I never got to know. I found some images of him when he was a little boy playing with pigeons in Trafalgar Square, London, and created a selection of mono prints based on this, as well as some other images that revolved around him.

Although I loved doing this, I felt that in the fine art pathway, I was creating work that sat on the borderline of illustration, and have continued to use mono printing in my work since this stage of my Foundation.
