AMY'S PMP

I HAVE USED MORE SCRAP PLATES FROM THE PRINT ROOMS AND MADE A FEW SMALL PRINTS INCLUDING A DINNER TABLE, SOMEONE READING THE NEWSPAPER HEADLINES, ANOTHER BATH SCENE AS WELL AS MAKING A WOOD EFFECT INSPIRED BY ANSELM KIEFER. I ALSO MADE A PRINT OF SOMEONE EXERCISING ON THEIR BED TO JOE WICKS

I BOUGHT MY OWN ETCHING NEEDLE SO I COULD ETCH AT HOME SO I HAVE MORE TIME TO FOCUS ON PRINTING AT UNI. I MADE A SCENE WITH AN ADULT GETTING FRUSTRATED WHILST HOMESCHOOLING THEIR CHILD. I ALSO FILLED TWO PLATES WITH PEOPLE QUEUNG WITH A DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM

I USED A DIFFERENT INK TODAY WHICH WAS MORE OIL BASED I THINK AND IT MADE MY PRINTS QUITE MESSY BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST EXPERIMENT WITH IT AND MAKE SOME OF MY OLDER PRINTS DIRTIER LOOKING. I ALSO MADE SOME OF THE PRINTS REALLY CLEAN TO DEMONSTRATE THE DIFFERENCE.

I HAVE DONE A LOT OF LINO PRINTING, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST PROJECT I DID BUT I WANTED TO TAKE PART IN THIS WORKSHOP TO USE THE LARGE PRINTING PRESSES. I DECIDED TO MAKE A SKULL WITH A MASK AND PRINTED IT IN BLACK BUT I ALSO WENT HOME AND PRINTED MORE WITH WHITE INK ON BLACK PAPER

I HAVE GOTTEN QUICKER AND MORE CONFIDENT WITH MY ETCHING AND WAS ABLE TO ENGRAVE AND PRINT TWO PLATES. AN OLD LADY GETTING HER GROCERIES DELIVERED AND AN IMAGE OF A WOMB CONTAINING A SKELETON FETUS AS THERE WAS A RISE IN PREGNANCIES IN LOCKDOWN. I DO NOT HAVE THE STATISTICS, IT JUST SEEMED LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE DID
