Experimenting with Lines

I have been playing around with some experiment. The i s directed by Tara Axford designing with the gelli plate. The modules are referenced around art movements and the first one focuses on the Bauhaus movement which abstracted lines from urban architecture. Mondrian was a proponent of this style. Everywhere I look now I see patterns of windows replicating this style.

In the prints above I have worked with straight intersecting lines in a limited palette. The first four are made using thin strips of tetrapak cut from a soy milk container - the silhouette print followed by the ghost print. The ghost prints exhibit some interesting texture, the silhouettes are a bit blurry due to the depth of the tetrapak.

The last two are printed using strips cut from an OHP transparency so the lines are more defined. The introduced dark textures have come from using a strip used in a previous print and the paint transferred to the subsequent print.

These prints are just made on standard copy paper
