PROFESSIONAL PRINTMAKING PRACTICE

My first aspect of professional printmaking practice was really a trial run, making the finishing touches to the Kobusher print as I began to describe in my previous post, ONGOING PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE - MOOSEY ART.

9/12/2018 - PEER RESPONSES + FEEDBACK - PUPPETS EVALUATION

By this time I've had the puppets in my house for quite some time, and they have been produced at various occasions as something for guests visiting the house to get involved with, which I have also taken as some opportune market research for how interactions between the puppets and audiences can be staged.

6/12/2018 - EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE WORLD EXHIBITION INSTALL

I displayed my work on a plinth in the corner of PS3 next to a piece of red piping. I often situate my works in this area for exhibitions as I like the slightly less typical surroundings in the corner with the pipe. However for this work it was more appropriate than ever as the red pipe was very similar to the red tubing shown in the oil rig, which descended into the darkness at the bottom edge of the box.

5/12/2018 - VITRINE ASSEMBLY

Once I had cut and pinned the sides of my vitrine and they were left overnight to dry, the next step was to slide in my glass frames to check it all fitted together.

3/12/2018 - VITRINE GLASS PAINTING

First I took my glass frames into the workshop to get them measured up to enclose in a wooden box and afterwards I carried them back to my studio for painting.

29/11/2018 - PRESENTATION

After having attended the majority of the other presentation lectures, I had noticed similar themes, exhibitions, expositions and workshops all popping up. I felt like maybe in my presentation I could shed light on another area of art culture which is often underappreciated in the fine art world, with my progression through the graffiti and street art scene. In my presentation I wanted to talk about my path over the last five years in both an artistic and curatorial/journalistic sense with a heavily image based display of visual styles and inspiration not unlike the heavily visual cultural world of urban art. I also demonstrated my interest in visual concept development and animal narratives and imagery.
