Group surgery

- Todays group crit was slightly nervwrecking, as I'm not always good at speaking about my work in front of people. But it was pretty relaxed and was actually really unseful in seeing what everyone else had been up to.
Printing out my images to put on the wall had actually really benefitted my work. - although i have enjoyed working in a smaller sketchbook, i think that the larger scale really brought the imagery to life. - they looked more effective. - a lot more impactful. - the creepy atmosphere was stronger.
- got positive feedback. - the session - reassured me that I'm on the right track - everyones so different - but feel like i have the right quantity - at the right stage of production.
- worried that my designs were not recognised as my authors - but this was praised aa a positive thing. doesn't have to be obvious - as long as its your understanding - thought about the meaning
- eye catching - draw your attention.
- possibility of bringing colour into the designs - think easily adapted to this.

- positive response to lino cut and mono prints.
- expressed my interest in jim dine and mono prints - the response was that my work seems like it would be very suited to the mono print process - to keep my textures. - might get lost in other processes perhaps.
- keep experimenting with mono print - I'm getting the impression that its going to be a lot of experimenting and trial and error - until i become comfortable with the process. then begin to consider how to adapt it to my artwork.
Perhaps using the textures to scan in and compile digitally?
-or perhaps working in purely mono print. - possible to create a pure print thats 'neat' - and fits into a design? - when working it was very trail and error, can i predict the outcome of a mono print?
