It's time to go 3D!!

When the sunlight shines through the slits in the box it causes vertical lines of light to drop on the Architectural ScreenPrints on the inside which is what I wanted so woohooo!

                               

Inside the larger boxes are my Screen Prints, the idea is that when you look through the slits you see the screenprints which are very strict, gridded & architectural in contrast to the outside of the boxes which are loose collographs/mad!! The project aims to contrast between when we put people and ourselves into boxes and when we go feck it, get out of the box and stop limiting ourselves!

Inside some of the boxes are photos I took in NewYork showing the idea of how we put people into boxes in the city, living on top of each other.

Adding the ScreenPrints to the inside of the box

 With these boxes I wanted to mix the idea of Inside/Outside, they are left open so you can see both the screen prints and the collograph on the boxes.

Hanging from the ceiling and moving...

Carving into the actual box and using it to print on paper, fun times!!

 Collographs...

Playing with how to hang the boxes, they're moving which look s pretty good cus it changes from screen print to collograph as the box moves, gets me everytime haha!!

Looking into the city in a box!

 

                                         

Just numbers in a city?

Collograph :)

Get Back in your Box!!

I love Screen Printing!!

Screen Printing numbers onto my 3 layer screen prints. Numbers show how we often want to put people into boxes, label them, have a place for them.
Peoples identity often gets lost in the numbers in a city, people can become just a number in an office block.

The screenprints of the barbed wire come from photos i took of the prison, to show the idea of how we imprison people in boxes, be it in jail or in Mental hospitals. How when we don't think people fit into a particular box or group in our world we put them in one, a cell.
