Need I say more ? Come by to check out our art, eat some chocolate and drink some wine..we've all been working pretty darn hard on this ( and spending all our money on it!)
Although planning exhibitions are pretty stressful, (I should know, Ive got 3 coming up before the end of the year) we've been pretty lucky to have the past few weeks free from assessment work, which is a huge weight off the shoulders. Also, we've been very fortunate to get discounted fliers printed as well as a free place to exhibit, wine and chocolate!
My work in this exhibition is going to be all printmaking, and I made sure to push myself by combining several printing techniques in a lot of the work (For example, the biggest series in the work involves lithography, Image-on etching, collagraph, and screen-printing)
I'm not getting my hopes up about selling anything at the moment, its better for us students and upcoming artists to just view it all as (expensive and time consuming) work experience.
Now excuse me, I''m off to spend all my money on Ikea frames and custom made mattes! See you all on the 29th!
Cheers, Josh
PS: my new hero is Jacob Arden McClure, mainly in regard to his paintings, because of his use borrowed imagery, the combination of drawing and painty/drippy stuff, the text.. all rolled int0 really effective compositions..one day I will rise to his level artistically I swear!
