I began to make the monoprints in the usual process, Rolling the ink onto perspex and drawing over a photocopy to produce a one-off print. However I did hit upon an idea a few days ago...
I had an over head projector in the studio and decided to experiment with combining the monoprint process with drawing on a larger scale. When the paper is lifted off the inked up perspex, the drawing can be seen in the ink, so i placed the perspex onto the projector and, just like a piece of photocopied acetate, the image projected onto the wall. This then allowed me to make larger drawings form my own print plate, therefore producing a print and a drawing of each image i produce.
Oh and heres a shot of my little nesting palce for the next 10 months. bliss....
