Our brief for print is "Defining Our Space" through the processes of drypoint and monoprint or a combination of both.
When I first read through the brief it all sounded very familiar as the idea of defining our space, or how it defines us, how we occupy it and how we continually alter, experience and personalize and the general impact on the space around us all described the things I had begun to explore in the first semester, where my project was on the process of moving home.
I decided to use the print elective to further my exploration of the same idea- and began thinking about how moving home, which is essentially the taking apart of one space, with regard to the personalization of a bedroom for example in order to recreate it in a new location.
I revisted the idea of my bedroom wall as a canvas of sorts and decided to experiment with the idea of one place fading away as a person (in this case myself, when I moved to Limerick at the beginning of this college year) moves home.
To begin, I created some very washed out and transparent grey monoprints, which gave an almost abandonedd and ghost-like quality to use as a basis...
