Woodcut Printing - Oh my Deer Project

I currently have three projects ongoing right now. Ah thank goodness I've somewhat mastered time management. This is my project for my woodcut class as well. It's one of my favorite print methods: relief printing.

Silkscreen Class Project - Missing & Murdered Aboriginal Women Part 2

Working quietly on my images this week I had a couple of things happen to me when I was printing with UV base. My grey came out a bit darker than I wanted and the UV base gave me a bit of trouble when I was flooding and printing. Other than that I'm impressed with my triangle shapes so far.

Detail shot of my print with the texture. UV base over speedball.

My final gradients for my triangular shapes. Interesting, now to go to the next step. Cutting out the triangles and if I did my math right I only need 2 and a half sheets of paper for 30 medium size triangles and 3 papers for 50 of the small triangles.

Supervised Independent Project - Movable Wave Project Part 2

So this project has been on my mind for the last couple of months. So much planning went into is the first three weeks but these last three weeks have been great. I can actually say I'm impressed with how my concept came together. Just two more weeks and I'll be done! Wish me luck and I'll continue to show my process as I go!


I wasn't sure if it was going to work in screen and it didn't! Showing all the process I've been doing even the failures.

Ah... switching to lithography. My love. <3

Offset press.

I switched to photo plate and it's working out a lot better than the silkscreen.

Printing over the speedball gradient. Not done yet one more layer.

New Project for Silkscreen Class - Missing & Murdered Aboriginal Women

For my final level of silkscreen I wanted to focus on an installation piece. I'm planning to create a piece focusing on Missing & Murdered Aboriginal Women in Canada. Which is a very heavy art piece.

I imagine this to fit in a small room and have 5-10 figures that surround a circular drum. Eventually on my blogspot, I'll have the finished piece up. I'll be posting a video and some photos soon.

My materials I'm using are:
  • 5 Coloured Speedball Ink.
  • 230 Silkscreen mesh.
  • UV base.
  • Fishing Line.

Supervised Independent Project - Movable Wave Project

This is my final year at Concordia, so I've been thinking of applying for residencies and internships. But mostly I wanted to focus on this year are installations. So for my supervised Independent Project class I wanted to create a piece that was movable and reminiscent of a wave. I created a piece in my second year of sculpture that had a spiral moveable piece. I'll post the link when I have the picture.

I have various things going on this project but right now I'm focusing on the prints this week and welding the full pieces this Friday. Wish me luck as it's my first time welding.

Bending these guys 90 degrees.

Process took me 3 hours not bad the technician at the metal shop really helped me.
