This are the images I produced in print today with collagraphs , the ink had loads of extender in to make the colours very soft. This reflects my home both visually and emotionally. The soft images remind me of childrens' books such as "Guess How Much I love You" written by Sam McBratney and illustrated by Anita Jeram , so perhaps that's an area I can explore.

Anita Jeram

Discussed the direction of my work as a result of the assessment today, I need to be far more experimental and just play with the subject. My nature is to produce pieces that I feel happy with rather than just produce pieces and then decide whether I feel happy with them.
I am going to immerse myself in my home for the weekend and see what comes out of just looking, feeling and producing in a more playful , intuitive way.

These are sketches that I have produced in this manner previously , so this is what I need to try again - keeping the spontaneity within the image.

  2. Re children's pic books, have you come across "While You are Sleeping", Alexis Deacon? Beautiful, soft, evocative drawings...
