Now looking back to project 4, I’m quite happy with my prints so far. Of course there are weaknesses and shortcomings, but I feel that I’ve made a nice tour of the techniques learnt so far and I also think that I’ve learnt a bit about how to improve prints by overprinting to add more […]

After series 3 (the skyline) I took some days off printmaking to get a little inner distance and look out for new ideas. I found it difficult to come up with a completely different subject and  trying to cover more than two techniques simultaneously. The technical requirements somehow seemed to block me from just going […]

This turned out to be the most difficult subject so far. It all started with my idea of using leftover paper scraps from the last series and try out what I could do with strips of torn paper, used as masks. I thought I might develop a subject using backdrawing on top of an imaginary […]

I started this project from the idea of printing off the texture of tree leaves which came up while printing the shoe series. It had been during a lunch break when I walked around the block and became aware of some interestingly shaped leaves. During the remainder of the walk, I collected different leaves and […]

I started project 4 with a series of prints based on a drawing of a pair of wooden clogs. Out of a feeling that I did not want to embark on an over complicated subject, I chose the shoes in a matter of seconds when I saw them next to my desk. The shapes looked […]

It has been quite some time since I completed project 3, I had to make a break to work on other things. I’m not happy about having to make breaks because it really interrupts the flow of ideas and experimentation with techniques. But in the future, I will avoid making a pause in the middle […]
