Projected Printmaking

17 March 2017 15:10

Since the project has been embedded in the reference point from 2D design to 3D, I thought that there must be a way of incorporating my prints with the new projection screen. HOWEVER, the prints are on newsprint which is opaque and therefore only print templates with cut out negative space have any  sort of aesthetic influence on the light.

So I turned to acetate, and here is a print (shockingly yellow I'm afraid, but I was going for drama), created on an A4 acetate sheet.

I was enjoying how the print interacted with the corner of the space I was working in and I thought that the way it interacted with the objects was very interesting. It warped and abstracted the already abstract print - which made me wonder what I was really trying to achieve.

I also tried folding the print, and there was a nice interaction and interference taking place. I did a few more experiments seeing how the print looked projected onto the paper mesh, or even the lace mesh I had been using before.

There is something about the lack of focus and refracting of colours that I really like, the process abstracting and confusing something  about the object.

Another acetate experiment involved using a print I had made but then photocopying it onto the acetate sheet. I used quite a dark print (I see this was quite a bad idea now but ahh well) and I think this was the reason it didn't take to being layered with the paper  meshes.
