worse / worst

From Monday's printmaking class. Two colors screened over the top of two other colors printed with the same screens. 

Two screens, but three inks. I was struggling with the paper. The screen has more detail than these show, but they are interesting as individual pieces. . . not much consistency within the edition.

SUB/division

Collage on wood panels, 48"x48" I am considering one of the following:

1: Render the entire composition in oil using the collage as an underpainting

2: Adding to the visual redundancy and confusion by adding in more painted liner elements

3: Adding another layer of suburban homes this time printed in red and then peeling back layers to, again, add to the visual redundancy etc.

This idea stemmed out of the google street view ideas I have been wrestling with for a while.

Also in the works is a long horizontal format book of the same subject matter.

silk screen

Currently, I am preparing for the silk screen portion of Printmaking. At this point this series has three screens printed using a couple of different processes. I am envisioning this being the first of many layers . . . we'll see where it goes. 

This is a test print that uses one of my student's screens. He was testing a split fountain process. 

WIP Landscape Painting

Continuation on the Texas Google landscape. Still have yet to incorporate any interface or "google" cues into the work.

Created a base for the next landscape painting using image transfers from my sketchbooks as well as direct drawing and painting. Hope to further fragment the landscape that goes on top of this by allowing portions of the base image to show through as well as by fracturing the reference image in a manner that is suggestive of advancing along a road while in streetview mode within google maps. 

Beginning to block in the landscape.
