Life through a grid

"You have to  play with reality as you  play  with a grid" Karel Martens

Perceiving reality through 'the grid'. Pursue a series of drawings/prints on graph paper
(What  was  my initial  reason for  using graph paper?)

Relevance of the grid:
-within the everyday
-organisation of space
-in other artist's work eg. Rachel Whiteread, John cage, karel  Martens

Relevant texts
-Grids, Rosalind krauss
-Rachel Whiteread drawings

Screen printing fabric monotypes

Works from the print room on Thursday 5 November.  Placing fabric on exposure unit directly.  This was exposed at 30 units (the lowest you can go and still fix emulsion).

Next step directing the space: drawing connections between forms and highlighting the illusion of 3D space. 

Watch this...space!
