After a long time in the running, I have finally been able to try out the idea of making my 3D cardboard hanging sculpture into a relief print plate. After rather satisfyingly flattening the object, the process of printmaking was stripped right back to the basics, applying the ink and the paper by hand, pressing the paper down onto the form to create the resulting print. I like the resulting contract created by the linear patterns in the structure, but I am not sure if the prints are enough on their own. Whilst in the process of making the prints it was suggested to me that I perhaps try screen printing a photographic image of the sculpture over the top of the relief to add more depth. Food for thought.
