Printmaking Personal Project Research


I know what your thinking.... adding glitter to prints... this isn't primary school. However this is not glitter this is DIAMOND DUST!! ... well crushed glass.. but it has been used by some very noted artists. To take my prints of viruses to the next stage, they need to become appealing to the eye. This firstly is eye catching but also it adds to my concept of trying make deadly strains of deseases tactile and beautiful. From what I can tell this stuff has been used in a very kitch way, mostly along the lines of sickly sweet pop art themes. My use of it is not cliche but to add irony and depth of meaning.
