This semester has seen my practice follow a lot of lines of enquiry, essentially to try and uncover what I want to pursue for a more resolved body of work. This has so far meant that a large volume of experimental pieces has been produced; mostly prints and small embossed pieces. With this in mind I want to expand this body of work further, and incorporating more elements into it so that it becomes more rounded. There are several new processes which I have only just scratched the surface of such as laser cutting. I really want to take this process further, firstly by making my own letterpress blocks that I can use both to print and emboss from. I would also like to see the potential possibilities of laser cutting layers that build up to create one solid 3D object. This would take a lot of planning but could prove to be really successful if it is thought through effectively. The sculptural theme continues with the idea of using a milling machine to create relief works. As it stands currently I feel that a lot of my work is relatively flat and I would love to pursue a way of working that crosses the boundaries between 2D and 3D. I would also like to incorporate this relief idea into the prints I am currently working on, to bring the image out from the flat surface that it sits on. This relief idea can also be stretched to my embossed pieces, which currently exist as small experiments. I would love to blow this idea up in scale and make really large embossed pieces that can either exist on their own or be incorporated with other processes, perhaps hanging a series of them in different lighting conditions could change how they are approached and perceived by the viewer. I have realised that I favour my work to be presented in a linear fashion (till roll, continuous line installation, the use of the printing roller), and so with these new embossed pieces I would like to expand further on the use of line in my work, combining line and the linear qualities of text.
