THUMB'S UP FOR LITHOGRAPHY:

Lithography is seriously HARD WORK! My muscles ache, I have a blister on my thumb and all that for 3 prints that are just O.K..
Good work-out at least!

DIGITAL SKETCHING:

Next up in printmaking is lithography - a technique where you draw or paint on a stone. I prepared my stone today, grinding it for over an hour. So I'm a bit anxious to draw on it, knowing that once I start it is impossible to erase it! At least I made a half decent sketch in photoshop, so we'll see how it goes..

PRINTMAKING:

I'm finally here! In Rotterdam, for my exchange at Willem de Kooning Academy. For my minor I'm doing printmaking, which basically means I have one day a week where I get to learn all the printing techniques I want. I started off with silkscreening, since that is something I know - but screenprinting on paper is quite different from printing on textiles. The best thing is, you can get much more detailed images and it is much quicker! Here is my first print:

FINALLY:

After being without my macbook for 11 days, I finally got it back to day! So here comes some photos from the exhibition, at last. All my prints up on the wall, ready for the opening:





The opening was a big success! Thanks to all of you who came, and for all the nice feedback we got.
And for those who still haven't seen it, you can drop by Norsk Trikotasjemuseum (an old knitting-factory!), it will be there until September. And don't forget to take a tour around the museum as well, it's very interesting to see!

FAR OUT ODDITY:

Exhibition with textile, sculpture and installation, by six young artists.
Opening on Friday 28th of May, 5pm
