Roller print.

Roller Prints.

These series of roller prints were created using printing ink on a laser cut stencil exploring the technique onto different surfaces.

These particular set of prints where printed on newsprint paper which worked well with this technique as it picks up the ink really well resulting in a clear outcome.

I decided to start exploring different aspects within the subject of roller print where I used mixed media backgrounds to roller print onto and then worked on this surface by drawing into the subjects with black drawing ink.

I liked the results I got from drawing with ink so I decided to focus some more on that using the same  laser cut stencil to draw the image with then worked into it by blending parts with watered down ink and careless strokes .

Sabrina Ward Harrison responses.

Sabrina Ward Harrison inspired:

Sabrina Ward Harrison inspired me to explore her work in more depth and create similar responses where I combined her style of work with my own. Exploring outcomes portraying different meanings and feelings I got during different places I traveled during the summer.

This outcome was based around some places I visited recently and photographed. I used bright inks to create the background and added black line ink drawings onto it. I further developed this outcome by blending in another straight ink drawing piece onto it which filled up the space of the original piece and gave it a hidden message feel to it as you have to look at the piece very carefully to point out all the subjects included into it which made the outcome more interesting.

To achieve this outcome I firstly created a watercolour wash background which I worked into including ink drawings showing a place I visited and cartoon drawings of strangers, the main subject portraying her point of view during the trip. After I created this I then used Photoshop blending layers in.

                             

This shows the main stage of me responding to her work where I compositionally drew out different aspects of subjects from my primary images and transferred them on paper with pen and ink.

These show stages of development when responding to Sabrina Ward Harisons work where I explored with different element of layers and blends on Photoshop.

This again shows how I progressed throughout responding to her work by adding colour and digital manipulation.
