I have hit a wall in the development of my images, as everything I make I feel lacks visual cohesion. Before I have spoken about isolating texture and contrasting this against solid colour, which has worked for me before but for some reason within these images it seems too stark. Maybe I need to consider adding texture into the background, or breaking up the solid colour in order to balance with the textured components?
When creating these images I have also been thinking about colour - as I think a third colour (as in the fish image) breaks up the image a little bit whilst still keeping the print 2 colour because its only a variation in tone. Adding this, however, would mean printing 3 layers which is extra labour as well as technically not making the print 2 colour, maybe? I could print onto coloured stock, however I think having the white in the images is really important aesthetically, especially for highlighting the photographs.
GOING FORWARD :
- Keep experimenting
- - try breaking up the solid background and adding texture from existing monoprints.
- - try to create effective colour overlap in the prints to make a third colour.
