Progress this week
My focus was to make work for one week and to 'create without questioning'. I have concentrated on printing using actual leaves. I used black which I don't usually do for printing. I've done three sessions of making work. I did judge it instantly but was then able to notice that and resist the urge to over think it all (or bin the work!). I just put it away. Today I have got it all out and laid it on the floor. What I notice is:
The prints I liked least are now the ones I am most interested in.
I am still learning and exploring - not making finished work.
Laying them out on the floor gives them a grid format - which I like.
There is something nice about looking at the whole series together rather than just looking at individual prints.
I'm asking what do I do next - i. with these prints and ii. with gelliplate printing.
Here are the three groups of prints
Great work. Interesting thoughts. I agree completely that there is a Gestalt about them. They energise each other.
