This is where I
began to develop patterns with shapes that I have taken from my day of
the dead research. However unlike Day of the dead I don't particularly
like using symmetry which most of those designs do. This is another
monotype print which as worked really well especially because it looks
textured which is something I'm hoping I will be able to achieve
successfully in my final designs.
I created this
print in about November of last year (I'm just slow putting it all on
here) however I can see slight similarities to Joshua Harkers patterns.
Obviously not exact but detailing and all the shapes fit into each other
to continue the pattern.
I've said that I
don't like symmetry ( I know thats a big statement but it's true) but i
decided to try a symmetrical pattern just so i've covered different
angles and I thought there might have been a chance I'd change my mind.
The above image is the result. It looks to stiff to me, it doest flow
enough. Which can be rectified if I thought more about the design but
this was just a quick experiment.
The above image
is my acetate stencil created using indian ink. I am going to use this
for one of my first screen prints and then I plan to work into the
pattern to make it more detailed and intricate. That is more
experimenting though, for the extra detail.
Heat press
print. Using the same basic pattern I have added small rows of dots,
although not a lot of detail has been added this is a very good start to
developing the pattern further.
