I have been working on creating the 100 Print Project class for a while and I have made lots of prints. My studio is in my dad’s machine shop.
With hundreds of prints spread over several walls and tables, Dad asked, “What are you doing with all this stuff?”
Great question!
I am not sure. I really love the process of creating prints and classes.
I am encouraged by seeing the hundred or so prints on my studio wall.
Working this way gives me a feeling of cohesion in my work. It is also very easy to frame, display all these 5″ x 7″ prints.
I was encouraged by the early collage installation of Rex Ray to hang all my prints on the studio walls as an installation.
Ideas for what to do with these 100+ prints:
- Look for a gallery to have an exhibit
- Frame a few in easy standard size frames
- Mat them to 8″ x 10″
- Sort them into sets
- Just enjoy them for a while
- Store them in a small box
- Put them in handmade portfolios
I am hopeful for this project. In my early days of gelatin printing, I played and printed a lot. I am still playing and printing, but now I feel like I have a cohesive body of work that I would like to do something with.
If you would like to create 100+ gelatin plate monotype prints with a little support, then check out the details of the 100 Print Project Class, an online printmaking workshop.
Happy Printing!
