This one is from spring semester and was finished in May, but I wanted to post it anyway because it's one of my best works so far. It is my final project for Beginning Printmaking and was inspired entirely by the camping trip in April (the same experience mentioned in the last post). Unfortunately, the picture doesn't quite do it justice, but it's not terrible.
Anyway, here's what I've done....
The vast amounts of bright color you see are the product of collagraphs made with 3 separate plates. The black map that spreads over the surface was done was a photo litho. The circular shapes on the top and the bottom where done with a homemade rubber stamp.
Emerging from the center is the being of the electromagnetic spectrum: red, the most spiritually basic. As seen, the colours bleed out to purple, the most spiritual of all colours. It's hard to see in the photograph, but the patterns on the collagraphs and the form in the rubber stamp represent forms of vibrations and energy as I can understand them. And the map is the campground: my personal route through the universe on that particular day.
