| Cells by Mary M Payne, 24x32, Collage on Canson paper |
In this next series I continued the idea of kitchen papers, looking for a thinner version of "wax paper". The only candy and pastry papers I found for sale in France had logos or words on them so I found a package of thin sheets used to separate slices of hamburger and bought them from Amazon.co.uk.
My mark making in this last series uses a stencil for the ovals in the backgrounds . The cell-like shapes that appears on the sulphur square is made by touching down lightly with a roller full of black acrylic. Then I glued the transparency onto a piece of light weight Canson paper so we can better see the piece.

The explorations of an artist are much like those of a scientist. We try everything until we find an effect that pleases.
A few cell shaped cutouts add the final touches to these collages. The substrate paper here is textured paper by Ingres.

Hi Mary, I am enjoying your printmaking art. Of this four of cells, I like the second one best because it is a bit lighter. I am not personally fond of a lot of black, though in my printmaking, I used it. I just like the placement, also. There is another set I have not opened yet.
ReplyDeleteKeep the art coming.
Love, Iris
Thanks Iris, for joining in. I love any feedback. My tendency is to splash lots of color around but I am favoring more neutrals lately. I got very fond of black when learning printmaking... especially intaglio.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say that I just caught up on your art blog, and I love the last series, which looks like shells to me. Really good. I love all your work and am constantly surprised as you are always doing something completely new! Maybe you should open a gallery...or show it online. The shell series would kill on the west and east coasts of the US...

ReplyDeleteAllison, thanks so much for joining my site. And for seeing the shells. I see them now too. In fact I started out with the idea of the stones we have on the beach here in Nice ( galets) but realized that I could put more variety if I added a nucleus. But the concept of shells is poetic. I like it.
