Transformation

I've been printing up like crazy for the past month or so. I have learned so much and there's so much I would do differently, but then again, I'm so proud of my work and a bit sad it's over for now.
I've been exploring transformation through Climate Change. How our world will be transformed, before our eyes and into the future once we're gone.

The first topic i was looking at in this work, I had to create a series of Collagraphs. I had been watching some Climate change videos about Tuvalu and Kiribati islander people who were living existing real-time examples that Climate Change is happening and why urgent action on climate change must occur. 

 The Collographs used fabric, sandpaper foil, card, corrugated card, foam letters, chux wipes, yarn and plant materials.

The final work a series of 4 Collagraphs using gamblin ink and soaked Fabriano academia paper 200 GSM

It took a full week to dry the ink on the chamois

 The two books are to be read together as one.

 A series of multi plate prints utilising techniques and methods such as Collagraph, relief mono type, additive and subtractive mono type, Linocut. Pages 17 and 18 have fold up and out sections that fit the book together.

The cover, the vessel for the Artist book. Chamois printed with a map of the world. Climate change is a global problem

Chamois cover - the world wrapped and tied around the Artist book

Buried the Artist book in the garden, marked it with stones. It will be left there for someone else to find, perhaps a future generation if any survive climate change.
