Having taken lots of good research photos at the Gregynog press I have now started mark making and design development. I am looking at the marks/scratches created over the years on the floor from the machinery plus the textures, surface and movement of the the actual machinery. These have also been scanned and I am trying some designs within CAD - not my strongest area by any means!
The ideas I feel from these are very different to how I feel about the actual printed page and the words within it telling the story, singing the poem and how precise and exact the layout is.
I have also started machine stitching lines on to fabric to symbolise the text on a page, but hope to develop into hand stitching with the right fabric!
So this is the start of the development and its quite scary - but it will be interesting to see what the end results turn out like as this is so different from my previous work.
Lovely colours and ideas coming through in this work - you must be very excited about what this is going to become - I know I am - well done lady xx
