Barbara, last year Louise Cass and I went to a show at the Japanese
Foundation in Toronto . As I remember it one of the artists had
printed on silk or some other diaphanous material and hung the prints
side by side and behind each other in a 3-d piece. It seems to me
that there were a few 3-d treatments; hopefully Louise is out there
somewhere reading this and remembers them.

I know this is a double post, but the first was from me as Archivist,
and this is from me as Baren citizen. Sharri, your hand print (from
your blog) is intriguing! What creative people we have here on
Baren! I'm enjoying all the ideas people are giving Barbara for her
next big project. I think it's inspiring us all! Some of those
things I would never have thought of. Get a bunch of artists together
in a room and you get a fountain flowing.

Ray Hudson, do you have any photos posted of any of the finished
pieces of your "three dimensional" prints?

Looking at your work and seeing that you'll exhibit with a metal artist, I'm
thinking that you might want to look for inspiration to paintings/sculptures
by Lee Botecou (see for example this:
http://www.maxstarkenburg.com/photos/nyc2006/moma/lee-bontecou-2.jpg --
plenty of other works on Google images). The metal artist can make the
frame, and you can affix your monotypes/prints to the frame. It might be a
good way to combine both of your work (if s/he's up for it).

If not, maybe you can find some of those lamps that are square-ish and have
a metal frame that holds the paper cover -- you can replace the paper with
works of yours, maybe think of groups of 4 that are thematically related.

Wow, I love this metal frame....I think I could do that myself but maybe use something a little easier to work with for a novice than metal.
Maybe wood reeds or plastic rods,,,,,great ideas from everyone. I am saving them all for when I actually get going....soon I hope.
Thanks everyone
my best
Barbara

Barbara, take a look at my website under 'metal work' and also
'projects - proposals'. I started down the 'Get off the Wall' path a
few years ago. Still developing it but it's getting there. lately I've
been printing on metal or using stencils to stage out and then etching
the print as I would an aquatint. Then inking it up as in intaglio.

Regards,
Mark Phillips

Send Message: To this poster

Hi Barbara,

While at uni there was a student that did his regular prints and then added objects to the print. He made jewelry and other things that he actually pinned to the print for display. They were quite interesting.

How about making your print and then either folding them into a box shape or make simple columns from them. You could also emboss the paper heavily as part of the print before folding or making the column to add depth / texture. You could also cut into the paper and either lift the section or completely remove it for a different look.

I have a book on folded boxes that are shaped. I'll dig it out and send you that information for reference.

Send Message: To this poster

So I finally got Maria Arango's fantastic book on Art Festivals. What a treasure trove -- and a cautionary tale. ;-j

A watercolor artist friend and I are planning our first studio show for this fall, with the idea of segueing into possible art festivals for next year. Boy oh boy there's a lot to remember. We're going to have to think about this very seriously.

But in the meantime we'll bumble along and hope for the best.

At least with Maria's book we're forearmed.

Thanx, Maria.

Oh no, another "convert".



The best compliment I got for the book, other than yours of course ;-), was
that of a gentleman who told me something to the effect that he was "going
to start in art festivals until he read my book." He proceeded to thank me
profusely for saving him time and money and consequently started applying to
galleries.

Art festivals are not for the faint of heart, for sure, but, oh the
rewards.and really, not that bad. Just takes an adventurous spirit.



BEST OF LUCK!!!!



You're welcome, I think.

Maria

Printing on fabric. This iswhere my first prints were done, many years ago. If you decide to make a garment, you will need to use ink for fabric and heat set it. Printing with dyes has the most vibrant finish, a bit like the differece between using printing ink and pigments; it is a lot more complicated though. If you wish to hand print fom eg lino, this is usually glued to a piece of timber, this being sealed as the lino is more managable when wet for extended periods. If tou wish to print a continuous length of fabric, yuor block needs to be designed in a way that it teselates. (is that the correct word???) The image/pattern needs to be able to fit into each other. Patterns based on squares or rectangles are visually too obvious and become irritating to te eye. (to my way of thinking) The way esher designed those works with the birds/ fish is based on this. Another place to lok for well executed use of this is the wallpapers of William Morris - Arts and craft movement in England, also a blockprinter.
Only a few months ago I was told that Escer was a master lithographer, he printed all those lithographs himself!!
