Experimental Print Club Edition 5 proofed
For Edition 5, being posted back to back with Edition 4, I've made a new print of one of the best 'Systematic Variations' that I've been working on over the past couple of months. For this Print Club edition, the work has been printed 'cut to colour' on Kodak metallic stock, and then 'tipped in' to a debossed sheet of handmade Somerset 100% cotton paper. I like the locality of the stock, and I think there's a certain interest in the idea of 'tipping in'. A little like the way colour plates used to be added to books before mass market colour printing really arrived. There's a lively contrast between the crisp clarity of the cut edge and the altogether more haptic debossed edge too…
Systematic variations
Thought I'd post a couple of new studies, test pieces really, that may well form part of a larger new series of variations. I'm working with the title SysVar or Systematic Variations, and am greatly enjoying working out a series of new methods for creating the inter related works, that may form the backbone of a new print folio. That's the outline plan anyway…
