Block 2 - Print

Reflection of the Print Block

(15/11/10 - 26/11/10) 

Print

Having completed the print block, I have realised that I don’t think I’m a printer.  Although I would like to be able to use the process within my work in future projects.  I did enjoy the block but I think I’m a lot more experimental and mixed media based, using a variety of materials.  I think I would find the block limiting.  However, I did find the science of adding chemicals to produce dyes for the different techniques interesting, but at the same time it confused me, which ones meant what and how they would react with different fabrics.  One of the main reasons I don’t think I’m a printer, is due to my work not being image based.  When I produce drawings of an object, I think of how I could manipulate the drawings, looking at the textures, colours and shapes.  So I found working on Photoshop quite difficult with the drawings that I had, but I still think I worked quite hard and came up with some good results.
