I have been creating some screen prints based on the figure and this has re inspired me to continue to develop my landscape mono prints that I first created last year. This time I have experimented both with size and colour. The colours moving away from the darker blues, purples and reds of a wintery East Yorkshire coast and countryside, to a brighter spring/summer pallet.

I have used sketches from the life drawing class to experiment with screen-printing. Inspired by Japanese prints I wanted to keep the prints simple but expressive. I experimented with different papers and backgrounds; also I have experimented with layering the images in an attempt to challenge how these simple line drawings are viewed.
My research into femininity has led me to looking at how simply altering the emphasis of a pose can alter the femininity within a male or female mode. This has sparked my interest in how realistic a sculptural rendering of the figure has to be in order to express emotion etc. Consequently, I have been experimenting with what creating figures from wire, tinfoil and masking tape. Stripped down these figures appear more elongated than they are, but do they convey different emotions or are they more a commentary on different body shapes.
