Patreon Experimental Print Club, edition #3 posted
After a surprisingly complex assembly process, the 3rd piece for my Patreon Experimental Print Club was editioned on the Winter Solstice and sent out to my Print Club members shortly after. Entitled R2 / helios helianthus, it’s the 3rd piece that I’ve made exclusively for my Print Club members.
Laser cutting R2 at Bristol Design Forge
I spent a fascinating afternoon at Bristol Design Forge yesterday, making an initial test cut on a pair of metallic Lambda prints, working towards completing the 3rd edition for my Experimental Print Club.
In essence, the laser cutting technology allows for incredibly fine cutting of the photographic paper, which I've then reassembled onto a thin sheet of metallic gold card.
Radial / TWO / helios helianthus / Second edition / Patreon Experimental Print Club
To complement the concept behind Bloom, I've started work on this new piece, reinterpreting my Radial / TWO geometry as a work on paper, that will see it recoloured, laser cut, and interlaced with a sheet of gold foil. These two components will then be applied to a backing sheet of handmade paper, debossed, and will hopefully form an intriguing new study, that will radiate a little late season sunshine this Autumn. That's the plan anyway.
WGSN 2013
Justin Hammond (director of My Life in Art) has curated an inaugural show of my work at WGSN in central London. For the next three months, their building will be used to showcase five larger works, including Torsion / indigo lacquer and Blast FIRST.
WGSN specialise in forecasting fashion trends for the coming seasons, and as such, we’re hoping there may be some interesting cross pollination between the two disciplines, fashion and fine art, perhaps especially in the area of colour. It’ll be interesting to see what comes out of the project…
