FINALS!

These bad boys are the 4 prints that made up my college exhibition, they're slightly smaller than A1 sized and are made using the same process explained before...

These are based on the idolisation of the Goddess Mother Durga, and how she is actually a representation of every woman.

And they're extra creepy.

You know it...

'Worship (Bhakti)'

'Aspiration (Akanksha)'

'Growth (Vriddi)'

'Embodiment (Shakti)'

Some in colour as well...

Beauty is grotesque...

These images require a little more explaining, because they're drypoint prints.

So basically I carved the images into sheets of perspex (using a craft knife and other sharp, painful things), rubbed ink into the carved lines, slapped a bit o paper on top and heaved it through a roller press...

Many emotional days in the print room resulted in some good, bad and messy versions but eventually I cracked it and got some (near) perfect ones! Not easy, let me tell you- Ink. Gets. Everywhere. I almost cried every time i noticed a bloody mucky fingerprint ruining yet another attempt...

Dark times.

All these prints are slightly smaller than A4

Maa Durga (technicolour edition)

After photocopying the many, many drawings I made from my nakey photos, I attempted to whapp on a bit o' paint and a bit o' ink just to test the waters.

I seemed to end up with a multi-coloured carpet, stained hands/feet/face, a bedroom full of fumes...

and these.
