These are some black and white prints from my independent study last semester.

Here’s one of the ones that turned out best, modeled by a lovely friend of mine. I hope to take the printed fabric and sew it into a garment, so I’ll post some more pictures after that. This kind of printing is pretty satisfying because you get to have a functional, tangible piece in the end. 한국 사우나에 있는 외국인에 대한 그림이다. 이후 만들기 방법이다. This was my last project in my independent study with linoleum. I’m not very happy with it but I learned some things, and I thought I’d post the steps here so you can at least see how reductive printing works! I saved one of each runs so that I could display them all sequentially. I think my biggest mistake was trying to use the colors to define different objects instead of for their values and shadows, so it wasn’t as successful as my first print and the colors become pretty hideous when put together. And as my professor pointed out, it wasn’t really the greatest subject matter to portray something so soft with such a graphic material. Lesson learned!
Right now I’m doing some experimentation with linoleum and reductive printing. What that means is I use one block, carve out (typically) the areas I want printed white and print in the lightest color. After I print as many as I want I carve away what I want to remain of that color, and then print in a darker color. You typically work from light to dark, but I might mess around with doing some oppositely with an opaque color on top.
Now I’m working on a couple of silly pieces where I don’t plan it out so meticulously. I am trying to break out of my comfort zone where everything is super-precise and let the stages kind of develop on their own. As I get more done I’ll be sure to document the progress! |
