The crit session from this morning was the last chance to get any feedback and display our work to-date to the rest of the class. There was some really amazing work out on the tables, so I was worried to show what I've been doing.
As for the presentation of things, because of the breadth of the printed material I have, I've just used bulldog clips with printed labels. As for the publication, that has been hand-sewn, a belly band has been created, and I plan on creating a cellophane cover for it too.
I really like the look of the mountboard folios that have been used to present prints, however the stacks of prints I have are too high, and it doesn't suit my final outcome of the publication which is a shame.
The feedback I received was positive, the form is useful because it got others to identify my strengths and what I should continue to develop - things I don't always see myself. Here are some of the comments:
Overall quality and presentation of work (organisation, professionalism, craft):
• Nicely organised
• Book is professional-looking (the print quality and handmade binding)
• Drawings are simple, textural, spontaneous, atmospheric
Progression shown in work. Changes, strengths, and new approaches:
• The use of monoprint and monotype - worked well with existing skillset and processes.
• Taking the printed material into digital software, assembling a book
• The naivety of the work, combined with crafting
• Screenprint process
Recommendations for future work. Key approaches they should build on:
• Loosely drawn characters
• Rough, handmade textures
• Monotype drawings
• More publications
