Prints from late years of Undergraduate Studies.
These works are the more traditional printmaking methods I have used.
Screen Printing
Fall 2009
These Screen Prints came about the same times as the above etchings with similiar imagry and conceptual ideas, however, i started using bold color palletes as a tool to drive what i was feeling into images rather than the depths of black and grays I was so used to from etching. While the etchings have a much more apprehensive and stoic presence to them, the color of the screen prints give off almost a sense of anxiety. and a feeling of movement. The images themselves even feel much more fluid in their deformities, ready to liquify and drip off the edges of the page.
Etchings
Fall & Spring of 2009
These group of etchings were completed during senior year during of my undergraduate studies when my main focus was working out deep, personal emotional struggles I was facing about myself and the ones closest to me. The thought of my younger brother fighting a war amongst men infuriated me at that time. Through a series of heavily aquatinted portrait busts I interpreted the emotional corruption of his innocence into a physical means. Those distortions of my brother’s face served to accurately portray the way I fetl war had ended his age of innocence. The two anamorphic portraits consisting of dozens of gnarled heads, were more of a self reflection and degradation for things about myself i felt to be at fault.
