Simple sometimes works. This ICAD gelatin print is just one stencil and a bit of magenta and blue ink.
Chaos or Simplicity?
Everything is moving so fast, so much to do and see and be. Don’t you just feel your body relax when you see a clean organize monochromatic space on pinterest or in a blog post.
I do. I move back and forth between chaos and simplicity. If you saw my studio right now you would seriously wonder if simplicity was possible.
If you keep things simple:
- decisions are easier
- choices are clearer
- thoughts are less frantic
- the body can rest
When you look through your pile of gelatin prints which ones are you drawn too? Are they the simpler ones or the chaotic prints?
When you choose colors do you have 2 or 3 go to colors or do you use every single one in every print?
There are no wrong or right answers. There is just observation and information that you can use to enhance your printmaking process.
Happy Printing!
