Final Three Prints

Final three images - 30 by 30 

In arranging my final images as a set, I am pleased to see that they work as a series.

I am glad that I chose the three compositions that i did: i feel with each one featuring the ship, it clearly shows the running theme of the Odysseys journey throughout each print.

I like each piece for different reasons, but in viewing them together i see where perhaps the visual aesthetic of the imagery differs. In my 'Charybdis' piece (last) the lines i have used to represent the sea and main body of the monster are quite thick, and i feel that they represent the lino aesthetic that i was aiming to create by hand. Comparing this to the 'Sirens' piece, i can see where my lines have become thinner and focused more on detail in areas, which perhaps looses this feel slightly - especially for the underwater scene. 

-Although i have actually really enjoyed the digital process of combining the textures and line drawing, i think that in the future i need to be more considerate of line quality. I think its about me finding the balance between digital and hand made processes also. - The use of lino cut to create detail would have maybe given the final images more of a consistent and organic visual quality.

- In future, I would be interested in perhaps creating a lino cut print of detail, and then digitally editing this with textures.
