More of mine!

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

Frida Kahlo

This image is the result of about six different printing processes. I kept places colour on the plate at random using a cloth to make interesting strokes and streaks. I am liking how i used darker hues for shading. The background works surprisingly well in  my belief. The colours seems to integrate to create an harmonious yet somewhat gritty, repulsive air. I really feel experimentaion with colour had an integral part in this project for me.

This is a print on 3D graph paper that I happened to buy on a whim in HMV some time ago. I am glad that it came in handy. 

I printed this image in paper I had used in semester one. I had applied bleach to the paper by using a sponge and also by throwing it vigorously on it. This caused this pale yellow stains that are surrounded by an ethereal green glow.  I particularly like how the application by sponge makes a mark that seems like bacteria seen through a microscope. I decided to print on this just to see how it looks. The line that seems to divide the face reminds me of Henri Matisse's The Green Line.
