French Cleats & Magnets En Masse
The Plan:
Nail cleat to wall, 2 thumb tacks into top section of cleat, 2 neodymium magnets (slight overkill, but entertaining!) to hold print up without making holes in the paper.
Frameless & Extended...?
I put pins and a piece of wood on the back to extend the print out from the wall a little... perhaps done more easily with just long pins. I used the strip on the wall because it was there, but even 2 push-pins can (temporarily) hold this set-up.The small shadow almost serves as a frame of sorts.
Chopping and Combining....?!
Reminds me of an odd quilt - they don't flow together as well as I would like. Very happy I used the print "seconds". I need to try this again.
14 Prints (as of now...)
Still need to work on an order, and possibly print a few more.2 rows of 7, 3 rows of 5...
Latest Ceiling Works
10 x 30" and 18 x 24" prints.
Source material (future woodblocks) are on the left.
These have a layered "ghost print" on top - I mixed a little blue in the black ink and printed the flipped image of each section.
Ceiling Composite Print
For now, just on newsprint and one color... thinking about how to add in another layer.
Bridge (8 x 16")
My original photo (from the bridge by the ICA) and print.I'm still debating on adding another block to the bottom to make it 3 total. This should hopefully help link it better to the circles below. I need to work out some color connections, too.
Functional Diversions
Taking a break from thesis work to assemble this recycled coffee table. I used Ikea pieces we already had (probably to be swapped out for "real wood" legs eventually) and a window from my parents' dining room. What a difference a drill can make! I got the idea after visiting several amazing artist studio lofts at Eclipse Mill. Thanks, Dawn!Ironic that I had to drive all the way to North Adams to figure out what I wanted to do with one of the windows sitting for weeks in my car trunk.
Newsprint Scrap
Just another scrap piece of paper used to help clean off the blocks, but for some reason I really liked this one.
