Elective 1 - Print


The Brief I received was "Urban Spaces"
My first objective was to gather 10 images of urban spaces that interested me. From these images one was selected to make compositions suitable for drypoint prints and Monoprints. The image I selected contained an old tricycle that was stuck up on a roof of a derelict house and became almost part of the roof as tree branches and weeds engulfed it.  Below are images of the progression of my printing.
