Mug Print

Mug uses images from a previous exhibition of Elizabeth’s ceramics, in which a collage was projected over the top of her physical ceramics. A portion of this projection was taken to form the basis of this collage, a process which continuously revealed new forms to explore and add to, both in collage and hand building. The Terracotta Collage series is made up of 7 images each editioned out of 5 through high quality Gyclee print on A3 Ilford Textured cotton rag, 310 gsm. This series uses a process of composting past work to create refined archives through collage. These assemble many mediums including watercolour, gouache, pen, and coloured pencil as well as physical ceramics to construct vessels that transcend a single textural materiality and tactility. Collages and physical ceramics informed each other during their making, as well as the forms and colours of work from previous years. The background’s of these collages were created using a method of hand-making paper from recycled proof prints, separating and mixing the coloured printed ink into batches of paper to create new colour combinations and textures which were then digitised and informed the imagery of each collage. Each Gyclee print is signed and numbered out of 5.
