“Local, personal, natural”
I kept going back to this three words
As the world we knew as normal is questioned to the core
I have a need to say whats basic
whats simple
“Start were you are” Pema chodron says
so I did
This series was my one work a day and you can get a glimpse at most of these daily work here as an open edition
I also posted the 9 abstract here as a download
but I love printing
nothing compete with holding the paper in my hand
guessing how many grams this paper is and which Italian manufacture its from
250 gr, from Milan? I ask Fabrice my printer from Imprimerie Vallière
and he says of course. what else ?
checking the black shining in the sun reflection
making sure all my details, textures and imperfections are in place
Some of this scenes just happened
as I was walking back and forth in front of my house during the lock down this swans were following me
they really did
unlike the ducks that couldn’t care less these actually spotted me and joined my walk
I couldn’t help but stopping to draw them.
Above is a detail of one of the works
These are studio works that turned digital than printed on paper
This is one of my favorite things to do actually
It takes many stages but I love that
letting my work take form than separating the colours into different layers adding textures, imperfections and other form of bringing meaning into a stain, im in love with.
Over all I printed ten and they are 22x33 cm
this size stayed with me from our first printing attempt with fabrice
we wanted to use a vintage press machine for the prints
but couldnt get all the technical aspects to work
I ended up collecting the size, the colour seperations, and other forms of vintage press preparations into a digital process.
