A callograph I created in Elizabeth Durand's Printmaking workshop, printing a collage of bark, texture medium and incised lines and dots into matte board
Hides of Display, Installation view in the Undergraduate Honors Exhibition, Spring 2011
One of the first projects I had in mind to get started this quarter in New Forms was taking my sculpture/ installation "Hides of Display" and transforming it into a 2-dimensional series of prints using a Callograph method. Callographs are basically printed collages;moreover, various papers, textures, cloth, etc can be printed like a normal plate would be inked, either by carding for the intaglio surface or by using a breyer and printed through the press. In this case I will be inking my "hides" or destructed purses and printing them. This series of prints will be displayed together on the wall similar to the installation of the hides, I am curious t see the effects I will achieve through this experimental process.

Additionally I wanted to take some of the mixed media/ collages I was working on in the past quarter of Painting studio and transform them into the 3-dimensional, allowing them to take on a shape that has significance to the found images, papers and themes I have been working with.
Your proposal is interesting and experimenting with differently colored inks could enhance the prints.
ReplyDeleteYou can really intensify this idea with mixografia. This is something I have always wanted to do since discovering some Rufino Tamayo prints at my curating job. This would also allow you to print numerous editions of your hides.
