In furthering my research into imagery developed from the nearly complete set of 'medical cards' I am now considering selected areas of original cards enlarged for print at approximately A2 size. Exploring the 'little round dots', screen angles and coloured backgrounds to suggest ageing newsprint, in order to retain the visual aesthetic of 'low fi' print influences from mid last century is a current focus. I see this as preparatory study for some sample screen prints and perhaps paintings to bring some comparative scale into my work.
I see this development as an opportunity to find methodologies with which to take my collages as a starting point and process further outcomes which retain not only the balance and juxtaposition of elements in the design but also the asssociation with a 'period' visual appearance.
The aim is to provide the low res, limited quality ink and registration appearance associated with the previously mentioned period.
