This is an early drawing I did at the start of the year, which I ended up using in my final pieces. It was based on one of the characters in Oliver Sacks’ book, where he would tap fire hydrants thinking it was the heads of children as he walked down the street.
This is a drawing I did on a man who was 80 and had a terrible case of alzheimers and thought he was 19 in WW2. This was too literal, so I decided to change how I approached the brief.
This was my attempt of changing the way I thought about the brief I had. One of the patients in Oliver Sacks’ book had to surround himself with music to be able to go about day-to-day life. Although, the idea was too clichÊ which made me progress on to further development.
This is when I started to develop the idea of the composition of my printed pictures. I had decided on which patients to choose out of Oliver Sacks’ book and this led me on to develop my ideas more.
This is the first time I had made a substantial idea on my final prints, I had worked out most of the elements I wanted in the composition, I was just struggling with the last finishing touches.
After a progress tutorial with Pete and I had shown him my ideas so far, he told me to go play with textures in Mono print, with the idea of collaging a brain. This is when I monoprinted a brain and this became one of my favourite parts of my final pieces.
These are some of my finished Screen prints, after hours in the printing room, I had finally finished them. These are my favourite out of the sets as I really like the inverted monoprint brain, especially when it had been screen printed.
These are my two versions of my sting. I am really happy with my animation as it is exactly how I wanted it to be and plays along well to the music. I made a second one so it would definitely hit the brief with being two colours. I changed this after the final crit.
These are my sets of prints. Including Mono print, screen print and digital print, I am really happy with the outcome.
