these are all mono prints where i have added a relief to the surface printed onto. i have used pastels to create different lines and shapes to test how effective the relief is. masking tape is the most effective relief cause when pulled off you see the line in the white background perfectly.
these are some forms or layering other than the buttons. i have added layers either by print or just with the hot glue gun. i did this to test the effect of layering to make a surface new again. some have worked well others are purely just tests.
these are all foiling. when printing with foils you use the same steps from the flocking technique print foils. but with foils you place the foils shinny side up.
these pieces i have created are a technique called flocking. where you use a glue called aquatex foil binder to create/print a design onto the surface and let dry completely. once dry you use the heat transfer machine to transfer the flocking to the piece. you place the flocking face down onto the surface you wish to print and leave in machine for 20 - 30 seconds. once done you peel back the flocking sheet and your prints done.
these area all different forms of cad use. i have created all of these with different tools in Photoshop. above you see 3 pieces where i have used a tablet to draw thee shapes and objects with a time limit of 3 minutes. below you see some pieces where i have gone out and taken a photograph of some artwork at a museum, and then edited the top layer to change the view.
these are all pieces where i have added the buttons over the top of the work to create more layers and show depth within each piece. the reason for me using buttons is to reinvent the surface. give it a new life by adding new layers to create a whole new image.
