Another short series of miniature hand-built collages. The London Underground... or 'The Ticket Collection'. The collages aim to explore the notion of perceived, but unintentional narratives.

Currently working on a series of digital collages of 'cityscapes', based on Bristol, Bath and London. These explore composition, juxtaposition and colour palettes suggested by Swiss graphics styles of the 1950's. The main battle here was dealing with the inconsistencies of digital print. Getting screen, stock and printer profiles set in order to print what is seen on screen is a nightmare! The images you see here are somewhat lighter that I would prefer on screen.... but, printed out correctly. I know... I should have duplicated files and adjusted a set for screen too! The set here based on Bristol... more to follow. All prints are A3malcolm turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06367963959349252179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353056038721373689.post-32430834086577324082012-04-19T13:03:00.003+01:002012-04-19T13:18:22.455+01:00Thanks for further responses - RecessionMy thanks to Kareem Rizk for his recent response to the end of year project.

Each artist was sent the flyer below and given a personal invite to respond to the brief for my MA year group end of year show publication. I've been really pleased with the responses received and promises of work for the deadline. The work has now started to roll in and I will soon begin to post the responses with credits to the artist. My thanks to all those that have agreed to take part... and to those that have not yet replied, it's not too late!<br />

After experimenting with relief printing from laser cut blocks (previous post), which was relatively successful I am now re-focussing on production of this set digitally. I have been experimenting with digital output and am currently printing onto low quality newsprint paper to review how quickly this stock will age to add an additional aesthetic to the printed work. The idea being to access design styles from a previous era and replicate the ageing process to assess how this might affect any perceived aesthetic. The aim is 'historicism' rather than nostalgia.<br />

Same rules, only elements form the recently acquired books and a few random bits of aged ephemera fro my desktop. Some more successful than others in terms of: composition, balance, juxtaposition of elements and unintentional but possibly perceived narratives. What is frustrating is the fact that there is so much china clay in the paper that the images are taken from that it blunts scalpel blades really quickly!<br />
<br />
Inspiration for this work comes largely from the work of David Wallace whose collages provided me with a starting point for my research into collage and mixed media a couple of years ago. Check out his work at <a href="http://salaczar.com/">salaczar.com</a>. There's some great collages and graphic art/paintings there.<br />
<br />
Quality of images below may not be wonderful as I recorded them on my mobile phone as my scanner is currently u.s.<br />

The blocks shown here are a scaled down test piece which I intend to print over the next couple of days. (Images show the laser cut and the constructed print block). I will then evaluate the outcomes in terms of print quality and visual aesthetic to decide whether to pursue this further with full-size prints. Additionally, I need to come to some conclusion as to whether I print the halftone in these designs from laser-cut raster images or bring digital or screen-printed over prints into play. That decision is on hold until I evaluate the block printing of the relief colours. The blocks are cut from mount card with the printing faces then glued with PVA to a background support block.<br />

From some books acquired before the christmas break I have continued to explore aged ephemera, consideration for juxtaposition and space and random, unplanned narrative that might be perceived from any inclusion of typographic elements. Once again, there are rules; only images, text and graphic elements from a small set of books/ephemera allowed in an attempt to keep things simple and let juxtapositions do the work!<br />

<br />
The growth of the portable, transistor radio, listening late at night to the radio signal of dubious quality but with the purpose of accessing music playlists not controlled by the British Broadcasting Corporation and progression through to digital signal could be said to have some similar developmental associations to the rolling progress of digital print. Analogue producing specific visual or sound elements/components which perhaps describe a process, rather than digital which, arguably, with ever improving resolutions has the effect of rendering output as clean, level and colourless in quality.<br />
<br />
Posted here are some of the sample work that I am currently working on... none are complete, but 'works in progress'. The theme is late 50's Radio Luxembourg and the Horace Batchelor 'K-E-Y-N-S-H-A-M' YEARS. If this means nothing to you... it's worth some quick visual/.audio research.<br />
<br />
In more recent pieces I have been investigating ways of digital mark making to replicate the build-up of ink density around the edges of large point size, wooden letterpress type. This is vaguely evident in the screen images and is starting to work well in prints.<br />

</div>Using the theme introduced in the previous blog I am now beginning to explore poster designs influence by a number of starting points: design styling of the previous mid century; a recognition of the demise of visual qualities and aesthetics generated by printing styles, qualities and processes; the comparison with the pre- digital medium wave radio network used by 'Fab 208', Radio Luxembourg.<br />
<br />
My aim is to make some visual statements that suggest the way in which digital developments are effectively 'sterilising' many visual outcomes. By 'manufacturing' the visual design style and suggesting print quality by 'controlling' the digital process I hope to be able to develop a visual aesthetic that suggests to the viewer a previous era.malcolm turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06367963959349252179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353056038721373689.post-29990920827881123572011-11-28T18:15:00.003+00:002011-12-01T09:39:49.629+00:00Horace batchelor and FAB 208<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Continuing with looking at low-fi printing of mid last century and making associations with other communication at the time I was drawn to Radio Luxembourg and the fading signal of 208 medium wave as a comparison of lost identities.<br />
<br />
Posted here are some initial visuals exploring both spot colours and full colour on faded stock on the theme. This is leading to a more full research of the mid last century research and the considerations for 'critiquing retro'. Whilst this can be associated with 'revivalism' it is not my intention. I aim to reflect on the period and with the irony of digital as a production tool, explore the visual aesthetics produced by mechanical processes of the time - out of register spot colout/fullcolour process, coarse screen halftone etc - to create a series of studies that identify and define many of the visual elements that are now being lost within the perfection of digital processing.<br />
<br />
These playing card sized images are some starting points for consideration whilst I am now building some posters on the theme.<br />

A recent walk at Llantwitt Major in South Wales reminded me of the 'beach walk' assemblage of Peter Blake. So, on this short walk I collected various elements washed up on the shore to create an impromptu assemblage on the tarmac on the carpark, taking a photo' of it on my phone... hence the limited image quality. As with my collage the aim was one of balance and aesthetic juxtaposition. The addition of man-made objects gives some comparison of shape and form.malcolm turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06367963959349252179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353056038721373689.post-72939640631752271882011-11-13T16:19:00.001+00:002012-01-17T16:47:26.083+00:00artists/period ephemeraVisiting the Rostra and Rooksmoor gallery in Bath today I was interested in the work of Aine Venables. Her work on show consisted of digital prints inspired by ephemera from the last century and digitally collaged. Some of the work appear as visual 'lists' - the milk labels - with a contextual visual imagery. Others utilise period visual icons in more aesthetic compositions.<br />

However, having considered the demise of the halftone screen in favour of the dither pattern digital print I now feel that I have some direction. It is of interest to me that the visual aesthetic I have been exploring with the juxtaposition of elements of aged ephemera in collages has something in common with the printing processes of the mid 20th century; some sense of lost qualities of image influenced by paper, ink and processes.<br />
<br />
I have become acutely aware that with the growing sophistication of digital processes that many of the ephemeral and 'period' qualities evident in print from the last century, particularly the late 40s, 50s and early 60s is now visually dead; partly due to the passage of time but importantly due to a rapidly developing ues of digital production. Consequently the visual components and qualities of that mid century printing now have a growing importance as a context for the development of print production and consumerism and a potential key to our understanding of a visual aesthetic.<br />
<br />
My current investigation looks at the exaggeration of the elements of halftone colour. Inspired by the book mentioned in a previous post - 'Sayonara Home Run', I have begun to experiment with and process digitally, aspects of the previous mid century visual aesthetic to question the rapid decline of the use of the halftone process, readability and aesthetic appreciation. To begin this process I have returned to imagery collected to produce the 'Dick and Jane British Tour' from early in the Summer this year and a couple of results are posted here. To further this visual exploration I am now gathering wider ranging ephemera and imagery from the previous mid century to explore the process, the aesthetic and relationship to current trends. Many artists/illustrators are exploring the 'flat colour' retro approach which perhaps, has its influence from earlier in the last century. I feel that it is now worthwhile to explore in more depth the visual paradox of the halftone.<br />
<br />
The images here when seen at full size (60cm x60cm) compare the 'lo-fi' coarse resolution halftone with modern digital products. Equally, there is a comment on the here and now in the narrative.<br />

As part of some more recent practitioner research I have looked at the work of the Texas based collage artist Cecil Touchon. His work focusses on the use of typographic characters without image or any intended narrative.<br />
<br />
In setting out to explore further approaches to collage and outcomes developed from this I intend to consider comparisons between work where there is clearly no narrative and visual outcomes are based on abstracts of juxtaposed objects and the resulting positive/negative space and balance/visual aesthetic created in this approach. Equally, I intend to investigate the inclusion of some percieved narrative linked to image and type based ephemera in the context of the collages I make ant the outcomes extracted from them.<br />
<br />
Below are some recent typographic investigations. The rules: only to be constructed from a small set of flyers that were given to me.<br />

To explore the process of generating large scale images from 'bookish' sized collages, I have begun to experiment with breaking down images into oversized colour dot halftones to pursue some visual enquiry into the visual aesthetic suggested by the content of 'Sayonara, Home Run' referred to in the previous post. The imagery has been taken from my 'Medical Cards' series of playing card collages (which are nearing completion - only three cards needed to complete the full set) to consider visual effect. At present I have adopted standard screen angles and CMYK channels for print. As I define the imagery to use for these experiments I will consider variations to process colours as suggested by research into the print qualities of lo fi outcomes such as comics and cardboard printing from the mid 1900's. Experimenting with background colour print (base) is also proving to be important to generate the same visual qualities created by aged newsprint/low quality paper.malcolm turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06367963959349252179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353056038721373689.post-30729728204738661482011-09-29T15:37:00.000+01:002011-09-29T15:37:57.380+01:00Sayonara, Home Run.... the little coloured dots<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF9DjNU-XYGIuQqGHHUylMXrZzqR-6zcoG5I_RSTJbpLdYU_HW5lBXbFRJWzdCYfGwL2sgpJiVuR6QwS86i2o0jzoo0pJJ5MrtGTz2YglrcAmNz8RpF5KWbzeVPbU_EioDtUGF5qjy1IA/s1600/Sayonara-Home-Run-9780811849456.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF9DjNU-XYGIuQqGHHUylMXrZzqR-6zcoG5I_RSTJbpLdYU_HW5lBXbFRJWzdCYfGwL2sgpJiVuR6QwS86i2o0jzoo0pJJ5MrtGTz2YglrcAmNz8RpF5KWbzeVPbU_EioDtUGF5qjy1IA/s320/Sayonara-Home-Run-9780811849456.jpg" width="218" /></a></div><br />

Having had the serendipitous find of the book 'Sayonara, Home Run' - a record of 1930s-1960s Japanese baseball cards - in an end of print/bankrupt stock book shop in Place St Michel, Paris, on a recent visit, I have been investigating the idea of replicating the coarse screen four colour printing of that era. I have been experimenting with this influence as an approach to developing some of my collage work at larger scale whilst retaining something of that 'period' feel which is important to me for the direction of my process development this Semester. I will be posting more on my research leading from the book and collages, but in the meantime here's a link to another interesting investigation/record of the media: <a href="http://4cp.posterous.com/?tag=specialeditions">http://4cp.posterous.com/?tag=specialeditions</a><br />
<br />
Whilst I will continue to investigate the medium of collage and the aestheic of juxtaposed imagery, I see this as a starting point for visual elements that I can develop with further processes. What is key to me is that I continue to consider and define what it is about period ephemera and the organisation/juxtaposition and balance of elements on the page that creates the overall aesthetic for the viewer. The opportunity to explore the 'little coloured dots' associated with the 'lo fi' print processes of mid-last century will add another opportunity to investigate the visual aesthetic that associated with that era.malcolm turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06367963959349252179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353056038721373689.post-58918262990553155792011-09-20T14:50:00.000+01:002011-09-20T14:50:32.912+01:00Medical Cards - progressI have been continuing with this set of cards outlined in a previous posting. The set of 'Hearts' and 'Spades' are now complete and are posted here. There are a few omissions for the 'Clubs' and 'Diamonds' and these will be posted shortly. I have been trying to complete, on average, one card per day to realise the full set. I have endeavoured to stick to a set of rules with regard to ephemera included in the collages: main imagery from a 1953 'First Aid' guide book; supporting elements from my 'left overs' of ephemera cuttings which clutter my desktop; a dip into my old Letraset and Letrafilm collection and some snippets of billboard posters for some coloured tone.<br />
<br />
My intentions are to get a limited edition of sets of these 'playing cards' printed to realise the original intention. Cards that are, first and foremost created and organised to be considered for their visual juxtapositions and aesthetic appeal relating to the starting point of ephemera from the last century; rather than for perhaps, an intended practical purpose (see earlier post) of game cards.<br />
<br />
I am interested in further considerations of visual aesthetic for both the individual cards - will these have the same visual balance/appeal at a larger size? Can they form the basis of 'lo-fi' screen prints? How do they all relate visually in 'sets' and 'sub-sets' as multiples. (See previous posting on artists stamps)<br />

So I have included here postage/artist stamp sheets developed from the Beatles gum card collages completed earlier in the Summer. I am always intrigued by 'multiples' and the way that they change the aesthetic of the original image but provide a new and sometimes more coherent balance. There is only one issue here, due to screen resolution and the miniature nature of each image, the quality is not representative of the printed sample.<br />
<br />
I have printed these as artists proofs but am keen to looking limited editions printed on gummed paper and perforated.malcolm turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06367963959349252179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353056038721373689.post-59281212528565796342011-06-17T17:18:00.000+01:002011-06-17T17:18:32.695+01:00Update on progress - AnimationMedical cards collage set is progressing slowly, but I am also still indulging myself with 'Beatles' ephemera. displayed here is the first of a series of Beatles A&BC gum cards stamp sheets. Mainly as a personal project but also as a vehicle for setting up templates for further series of artists stamps from more diverse collage based images.<br />
