Forming a collection

During this unit i have been introduced to a number of print techniques and i have tried to experiment with them all to produce a range of samples with different qualities. I have worked mostly in an intuitive manner, focusing on colour and line quality/ mark making and responding sensitively to the samples as i am working.

My task now is to gather a final collection of prints, to include screen, digital and hand processes, that work together and communicate my theme and colour mood well. Below are a few examples from my collection. 


I really like the subtlety of this print, i used discharge paste on a dip-dyed background. It has an organic and quite worn feel.


Here i used collage and pen. I enjoyed working by hand as i could build layers and play with scale and shape easily.


This is another discharge print, i found the technique quite magical as the colours and full pattern are only revealed after steaming and hanging. This does however mean i couldn't achieve an exact match to my colour reference.

Overall i feel i have explored a good variety of techniques and ideas through out this project. However i could have developed my work further by combining techniques more and working onto different surfaces.
