I wanted to create something totally new for the end of year show postcard pack and my D&AD image. I had originally thought about making two different images, but I am really pleased with how this screen print looks so I've decided to use it for both!
STRENGTHS:
- I developed my self portrait from a coloured pencil drawing I did at the beginning of the year. It was an image I really liked but sort of neglected it until now, so I thought it would be perfect to use it for my self portrait as I feel like it represents my practise well
- I wanted to almost match it to my other work as I thought this is the way I could best represent everything. I stuck to quite a simple colour scheme but used some colours which I frequently use
- I wanted to make it slightly quirky to make for a more interesting image which is why I included the long twisty arms
- I used a couple of different colours of stock to see how it would look. I do think the white stock is probably the strongest image so this is what I have used for my final, although I think the coloured ones will make quite nice mini prints which I could think about selling
WEAKNESSES:
- Although I think it reflects my practise well, it's not really a great 'self portrait' as it doesn't look anything like me; which I'm not sure is really a weakness as the task was more about producing something to represent my work
