Narratives - Art Matters 2009

Here are a few photographs from the Narratives show at Art Mur in which I showed my digital print series on Full Metal Jacket. 

FMJ Series Continued

Here are some of the last images produced for the Art Matters show at Art Mur. Though these don't look like much displayed on screen, they are quite interesting when printed on quality paper. As much as I profess to care more about content, rather that aesthetics, I still can't help appreciating a really beautiful image.

Full Metal Jacket series

These are some new experimentations with representation, time and perception from Kubrick's seminal film. I am now, more preoccupied with looking for how time and space are created or reconfigured through the modes of representation or perception we use. 

While all this is still not clear in my head the outcomes of my attempts are strangely poetic and aesthetic to me. 

I wonder if others have anything to gain from these. I guess we will see when these are on display at Art Mûr next week.

Start the Presses

After a long break from the printing presses, I have started to work with my line screen experiments again. To start me off I am working small and with one or two colors and will hopefully work towards more complex images as the semester advances. 

This test was done using a polymer plate and printed on a Vandercook Proofing press. Though, the tests started out really well, after a few prints it started filling in and I could not get it back. Additionally, I kept getting ink on the back of the printed pages and did not notice it until I got home with the prints. I will expose another plate with a modified matrix and try again this week.
