This week I have been working on my promotional materials: business cards portfolio and website. For studio practice I have been making plates for printing and exploring the concept of layers using string and 3d layered paper forms.




I am exploring the concept of influence and I have been thinking about all of the things or people that influence from day to day these influences build up in layers layers to make us who we are. There is movement in these pieces so the I can influence the shape and form they take so there is a certain amount of control involved and it can be thought of in two ways. The influencer can control the movement and so become the dominant force. The layers can also represent the layers of influence built up by the influencer but the influenced is in control of how these layers are shaped and moulded.


I have been developing the concept of layers of influence and ripples of influence with glass and I may take this further.





Plates made from string.
This week I will be using these for embosing and I have made several different plates relating to ripples layers and Bloom's six revisionary ratios.
