Notions Of Identity

Officially in Printmaking. How much Fun! Today we were given a 6 week project. We have been asked to explore our sense of identity and place and choose a format that best conveys the concept. We are being taught two new print processes Collagraph and Silkscreen.

Monoprint

First attempts at monoprinting. Showing the lack of space causing us to build higher.

Building Upwards

The brief is the nature of space in your immediate environment, how it defines us and how we occupy it.. alter it, experience it, personalize it. I decided to focus on how we build Upwards to make and occupy more space. This in an etching i designed to show how we build higher buildings to create more space. I want to create a chaotic atmospheric effect in the background as in the second picture. I need to develop it further.

Fining Clutter

I found this random dump land beind a housing estate between a childrens park.

Print Elective: Defining Our Space

Through monoprint and dryprint we were asked to explore the nature of space in our immediate enviourment. Im looking at how we occupy unwanted or forgotten space. Walking through Limerick there is alot of emmpty sites filled up with urban clutter.

AFter 2 weeks of Visual Communications we were asked to present two final peices, one typographic and one illustration that effectively showed our metephors.

Flies Are People Too

The world is Listening

AFly On The Wall

I'm in my first week of Visual Communications. In our fisrt week we were given a Typography project where we were given a metephor and told to make a typeface that visually communicated it in a conceptual way. My metephor was 'The World Is Listening'. I started by looking at it litterly, looking at ears etc. I then began to look at it as a paranoid statement, the 'Big Brother' theory. After looking into CCTV cameras and other forms of comspiracy, I settled on the idea of a 'fly on the wall' that is listening to everything.

Color Shades

Face Contours

I had my friend pose by distorting her face so i could capture the shadow effects on her face. This is an acrylic painting.

Mask

Shadow: ''If something or someone shadows you, it follows you wherever you go''

When I was in TY we went to an awareness talk about domestic violence. In the demonstration the presenters wore this kinda of mask to symbolise the mask people carry around to hide what they are really feeling. A shadow of themselves they carry everywhere.

Typography Attempt

Playing With Shadows, with hands and light. Creates characters.

Canvas Shadows

I started experimenting with shining white light through a canvas to cast strong shadows.
