Madam – Final Print 2011

Back in 2006 i produced a collage  made up of masking tape. scraps of lush orange paper, ink, luminous pink paint, left over photocopies…
The piece was produced fairly quickly in a manic fun mess, non of it was planned. Yet by the end, i was left staring back at this captivating image.

The original artwork was 27cm x 27cm and mounted on 1cm thick dark wood. After some time creases and bumps in the underlying layers started to appear and i decided to try and reproduce the collage on a larger scale for more impact.

There were 2 options as i saw it:
1) Get a high res photo taken and edit it via a photo touchup lab. (prob too much time editing)
or
2) Scan in the various elements and try and deconstruct the collage, clean it up and put it back together again. This processes took a considerable amount of time, coupled with trying to achieve similar colour tones in print.

During the editing process i got sidetracked and started experimenting with printing on gold leaf and specially treated metal sheets from Germany. With both options there was a slight blurring of the print and some of the image’s power was lost to the material. More Here and Here.

Fast forward and finally Madam is completed with every tear and crumple of paper captured on astonishing Rag 500 gsm Archival Art-print stock, measuring 45cm x 45cm.

The final stage of this piece is framing which will probably start next month.

Silk-screen Masquerade Ball / Wedding Reception Invites

Wrapped these a few weeks ago.

I initially designed a flamboyant modern type design for the invites, but we went for a more classic minimal approach. Would have been xtra nice to have had a slign emboss but time was against us.
