Print Elective

For this project looking at the space around us, I returned to my photographs of Limerick, from the Urban Environment brief.

I chose a select few photos and used them along side new found images for inspiration and to get a vibe for the work I wanted to create.

I began by looking at composition, colour and texture, then turned to shape later. I played around with layering colours of varying shades to emphasis depth and also touched on positive and negative space in my third and fourth prints.

The main subjects of my pieces were organic; stone and natural materials such as wood. However, I also looked at brickwork; a man-made version of a natural material.

I didn't want my pieces to be neat of specific, I enjoyed the process of creating, experimenting and not knowing what the exact result would be, and I wanted this to show in my work. I think this gives a 'rugged' feel to my prints, which I am happy with.
