Cut Shapes
• Here are just a few of the textures I created using gelli printing (mono printing at home with acrylic paint on a gelatine pad) and cut shapes based on exhaustive shaketching of motifs in my sketchbook
• Scanning in the cut shapes with all of those lovely textures picked up from the gelli printing I did adds such visual interest, a sense of "grunge" and "distress" and "vintage," that will look rather effective when experimenting with repeated patterns next.
• Looking back to my proposal and contextual research, I have ticked a number of boxes in wanting to use cut shape for collage arrangement (albeit digital) for sense of the handmade and "aura", mixing digital and analog in the style of The Printed Peanut for a modern vintage mix, using the blues and greens from Este McLoed's selected illustrations to evoke poison and mystery, and cut shapes positive (I've kept some of the negative too for further printing and experimentations) as seen wit Japanese Notan.
