For both of my screenprints they started out as etchings but I wasn't satisfied with the results.

I really like this TIKTOK mainly because if how badly the print came out.

Tiktoks!

I ended up making quite a few tiktoks relating to the project. I quite enjoyed making them and will probably be something I continue with in the future. Will reblog with the rest as you can only upload one at a time

Project title: Bird Brain

My work investigates childhood development looking into who and why we trust. In adolescents who we trust is heavily influenced by the psychological process of imprinting. Imprinting is the learned habitual trust of another thing, that forms from repeated exposure to the thing, as a survival mechanism. Although there is no guarantee that what one imprints on is actually helpful let alone living. I use imagery of chicks as a familiar entry point to the psychology of Imprinting. The playful, colourful and simplistic Images combined with the stark linearl compositions aim to represent the blind trust of imprinting. The relief and screen printing oppose the aesthetics of etching techniques to further this idea. Imprinting and trust developed in childhood follows you throughout life, while it is a virtue to trust it can be easily taken advantage of.
