Mark-making...


The photograph above was taken at Quay House where MMU 3rd years presented their work. This piece caught my eye through it's use of colour and by the fact it was created through print- one of my favourite areas of study. Using colour in my work has always proved difficult as I always think it makes me work look tacky, cheap and unrealistic but this piece includes none of these aspects. This piece is an experiment that led to a final piece that involved colour and pattern, the patterns created look randomly made and the colour used is subtle. This type of experiment reminds me of watercolour paints blending and merging with areas of water creating subtle yet exquisite detail, almost creating patterns similiar to ones that can be made using marble inks, like my version below created from using just black marble inks.
