Current Processes

As of late I have been working on a couple of different ways of transforming the images and information I have already created. I'm trying to engage multiple processes to find a combination that produces the strongest imagery and concept.

One of these processes is printing. Ultimately, my images will be displayed in a printed format, and I want to experiment with the size and type of surface they will be printed on. I have never printed larger than 17" x 22", so right now I am working with Patrick Young to print them at a height of at least 2 feet. We'll see what happens! These are the images I sent him to print in a large format (they are also different images than the ones I showed the class previously):



I have also been experimenting with drawing directly on printed photos, which I think would would more cohesively if I can do a successful photo transfer/print on drawing/watercolor paper. Here is an experimental example:


And current inspiration and upcoming Pennystamp's speaker is:
Wangechi Mutu ... here is some of her amazing painting/collage work that I really admire for both its aesthetic inventiveness and its subject matter.

  1. these images are so beautiful. I love the colors, textures, and contrast in all them. However, I'm just wondering what the meaning behind these images are? basically, what is your concept?
