surface research/facade




materials: watercolor and block printing ink on watercolor paper, plexiglass, scrap birch and pine.
for this assignment we made stamps combining our three previous projects out of linocut blocks. we were instructed to print them any way we wanted on paper, and then somehow make these printed images into a three dimensional piece.  i wanted to make the papers i made (which resembled wallpaper) to look as though they were scraps from a destroyed home.  i held the scraps off of the wall using plexiglass (also printed), and held the plexiglass to the wall using scraps of plywood that i snapped into strips instead of using a saw to give a broken feel.  the plexiglass is also intentionally hard to see from a distance, but intricately stamped so when discovered it adds a few extra layers of depth.
