I had a MRI scan in January 2018 and these work in progress pieces are based on images from those scans. The fabric was heat press dye printed with an image of the MRI scan. The fabric was layered, cut and embellished to emphasise the image.
Hard Painting at the Phoenix Gallery provided the Colour and Abstract art that inspires my own practice.
Another fascinating exhibition where art and science meet is Deconstructing Patterns at the Francis Crick Institute, London.
I’ve been spending time exploring a new technique for making work. This has been acid etching to make prints of my images. I have enjoyed the scientific approach to creating etchings but I still have issues with making clean prints. It also removes the possibility of lots of colour in the work.
The Cellular etch was made by coating the plate with masking varnish and then dripping meths onto the plate to remove the varnish in an interesting way.
