SEED PODS - SYMBOL FOR WOMAN

17 Paintings, 2 Drawings, 18 etchings/mono print


After continuing to explore various natural elements from the landscape - bark, seedpods, tree scars, and continuing also with layering in printmaking I eventually made a connection between seedpods as a bearer of life and therefore a symbol of womanhood. But the seedpod alone wasn’t enough and so I found I could layer and merge the imagery of the pod with other imagery.

The study of these elements was invaluable as a reference for form and colour.

PRINTMAKING

11 Artworks


Printmaking became far more experimental during this period using multiple plates overlaid, printing in different colour layers, using Chinecolle to add texture and colour  and ultimately using etching plates to create monoprints with chine-colle, multiple plates and brushwork into the ink. These prints were essential to the layering outcome of the paintings. The interrelationship between drawing, printmaking and painting was an exciting interaction.
