AMY'S PMP

TODAY I WORKED ON AN ETCHING OF THE TYPICAL YOUNG PERSON'S BEDROOM IN LOCKDOWN AND I PLAYED AROUND WITH TISSUE PAPER AND PRINTING ON COLOURED PAPER

 I BOUGHT MY OWN 2mm ETCHING PLATES TO USE AND FOCUSED ON A SIMPLE COMPOSITION INVOLVING A SKELETON IN THE BATH WATCHING TIGER KING EATING PIZZA

WITH THE SCRAPS I FOUND IN THE PRINT ROOM I USED A SCRATCHY PLATE TO ENGRAVE A CHILD DRAWING A RAINBOW FOR THE NHS BUT WITH A LOT OF MESS. I ALSO PLAYED AROUND WITH TISSUE PAPER

 I KNEW I WANTED TO FOCUS ON ETCHING THIS YEAR SO I TOOK PART IN THE INTAGLIO WORKSHOP SO I COULD UNDERSTAND HOW THAT ENTIRE PROCESS WORKED. I HAD DONE ETCHING BEFORE BUT I NEEDED TO JOG MY MEMORY. THE IMAGES PORTRAY FIGHTING OVER LOO ROLL AT THE SHOPS AND IT WAS INSPIRED BY AN OTTO DIX WAR ETCHING.
