Print Club Edition 4 proofed
Hello, hope this finds you well!
I've been working on a pair of new Print Club editions over the past few weeks and months, and as they near completion I'm pleased to be able to send you a little news to let you know how they're shaping up.
To celebrate the arrival of the new 10 colour digital printer, and indeed the arrival of summer too, I'm going to send out a double Print Club mailing, editions 4 and 5, at the same time. I hope you like them! In truth I feel a little behind the curve here, so I hope this double edition will go some way towards catching up!
I'm also going to send a few posts back to back today, I figure maybe it's better to get them together, rather than be contacted too often? I'm happy to hear your views on that of course! In fact I do have a short list of people that I send images of my new studies and in progress images to, and I'm wondering if you'd like to be added to those posts too? You'd be able to see a little more of what I'm making in the studio. Be good to hear your views on that!
I've also attached a few images of the individual prints here, but adding multiple images to posts is a beta feature for Patreon, so I hope it'll work well. I'm not entirely confident though.
So, here's a little more about Edition 4...
Millefiori / DMG / partial components
A set of 9 pigment prints on 300gsm 100% cotton Somerset fine art paper / 280mm SQ each
Edition #4 is a set of nine partial component prints. Each one cropped from a recent larger study - Millefiori / DMG. Comprised of 38 separate components, the image in part explores the Kepler conjecture, a geometrical problem exploring the packing of spheres into a given space, in this case the upper quarter of a larger globe, but packed at a higher density than would be the case with regular spheres, as each component has been sculpted to increase the density of the linework within the space. I hope the whole is redolent of Venetian Millefiori pieces that so often have the most amazing colour and vivacity, as well as some of the appeal of a set of polished, rounded pebbles. In each case the individual studies are deliberately looser than previous work, each component contributing to the larger whole, as well as being stand alone studies in their own right.
I've attached images of four of the nine studies here -
