What We Could’ve Made Togther
This project stems as a development from The Provenance of Grief. This series of blanket tapestries serves as a posthumous collaboration between my Gran and me, bridging our creative practices of blanket-making and illustration.
In my final year, I have been interested in exploring printmaking and integrating it into my practice. In the first part of this project, I explored different printmaking methods, illustrating the objects I focused on in the previous project and experimenting with how each technique affected the outcome. I then used collage to experiment with cutting, fragmentation, and abstraction, disrupting full images.
Ultimately, this series visualises the progression of dementia, with the tapestries becoming a physical manifestation of loss, transforming absence into a shared and tangible dialogue between me and my Gran.
This collage is made from multiple prints from different printmaking techniques, illustrating the objects that were the main focus of my previous project: The Provenance of Grief. The printmaking methods layered within this piece include monoprinting, etching, and screenprinting.
The printmaking methods included within this piece are etching and gelli printing.
The printmaking methods used in this tapestry include screen printing and etching.
