Research Festival
Artist's archive
Sketch and template
Key words: Memory. Grief, Intimacy, Mending
The idea comes from ,y dad's notebook, which he always collected me and my brothers' drawing, gift envelope and handmade birthday card in it. He kept this as a memory for our grow up journey. The book was more and more heavy when the time pass through. I enjoy to read it when I feel lonely and need family support but now I am trying to represent the cherish memory thought as it might miss during our moving years ago.
Process
Making process of archive
-
For more close to the idea of dad's notebook and related to degree show works, I tend to use similar paper as archive in the research festival. I printed colour stone lithograph on glassine to experiment but so far dealing with the ink is not printed properly. This difficulty makes to test paper at the moment and I am also looking for a thicker but semi transparent paper for cover page.
Exploring process
- glassine paper: too thin for cover and can not printed in colour properly
- test materials in the mixing colour ink: powder, extender, colour ink and litho black
- tracing paper 94 gsm to thin for the cover page
- photo litho film is testing
publication
Inspired by dad's notebook
Here will be added finished work of research festival.
