AMY'S PMP

MY PRE MAJOR PROJECT IS BASED ON THE TIME WE SPENT IN THE FIRST LOCKDOWN, PORTRAYING THE STRANGE AND SURREAL LIFE WE LIVED. TO REITERATE AND EXAGGERATE THE IDEA OF THESE MODERN TIMES BEING SO BIZARRE; MY WORK IS  IN THE FORM OF PRINTMAKING.  THIS MEDIUM CAN BE SEEN AS QUITE AN OLD FASHIONED WAY OF WORKING WHICH IT IS SO I AM CREATING WORK WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT HAPPENED A LONG TIME AGO TO PROVE A POINT ON HOW THIS PANDEMIC HAS TURNED OUR WORLDS UPSIDE DOWN.  TO BE SPECIFIC, I AM MAKING A BOOK/SERIES OF IMAGES CALLED THE DISEASE DAIRIES MADE UP OF DRY POINT ETCHINGS.  THE CHARACTERS IN MY ETCHINGS WILL BE SKELETONS TO MAKE THE VIEWER SLIGHTLY UNCOMFORTABLE AND TO ALSO SYMBOLISE OUR LIVES WASTING AWAY INSIDE OUR HOUSES. ULTIMATELY, THE DISEASE DIARIES IS RELATABLE AND OFTEN VERY HUMOROUS AND IS BASED ON DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS/FAMILIES AND THE DIVERSE WAYS THEY COPED WITH LOCKDOWN. I AM TREATING THIS BLOG LIKE A DIARY BY DOCUMENTING MY OPEN ACCESS IN THE PRINT ROOM.

TODAY IS MY LAST OPEN ACCESS AND I HAD TWO ETCHING PLATES TO PRINT. ONE PRINT WAS FOR THE LAST SCENE OF MY SERIES OF IMAGES OF THE CLAP FOR CARERS PORTRAYING TOGETHERNESS IN THE COMMUNITY AND TO SHOW THAT THE PEOPLE IN ALL MY IMAGES ARE INTERLINKED TOGETHER. I ALSO MADE A BETTER VERSION OF AN EARLIER PRINT I MADE OF AN OLD LADY RECEIVING SHOPPING AS WELL AS MAKING A BRICK DESIGN WHICH I MAY TRY OVERLAPPING WITH OTHER PRINTS ON PHOTOSHOP

I MADE A LOT OF PRINTS IN TODAYS OPEN ACCESS AND TO PRODUCE AS MANY AS I COULD, I PRINTED MULTIPLE PRINTS ON LARGE SHEETS OF PAPER TO SAVE TIME. I ALSO PLAYED AROUND WITH PRINTING WITH COLOURED INK. SOME OF THE PRINTS I MADE WAS INSPIRED BY DANSE MACABRE.
