Printing

What is my definition of 'printing'?

In my opinion printing means pressing material onto or into a surface that leaves a mark behind.
This can be permanent or temporary depending on the materials and surfaces that are used to print.

Gouden Handjes

For some research I went to 'Het Nieuwe Instituut' to a so called 'Thursday Night Lecture' and this one was going to be about craft. The lectue was called ' Gouden Handjes' where different artists were lecturing about their ideas about craft and projects that they thought were relevant to craft. Three lectures really inspired me that night, Studio Spass , From Form and Sooji Lee.

Why I Make

Introduction

I chose ' Digitalcraft' as a practice because I really like to work with my hands. I really fancy older printing techniques which I had already used multiple times for my Illustration projects. Although I fancy older crafts I do like working with newer techniques as well, I try to explore as much techniques as possible within the school. At some point I would really like to combine these older and newer techniques together within a project. (I thought at first that this practice was all about this point of view.)
When we were introduced to the 4 disciplines within Digitalcraft I thought that 'printing' was the least interesting one. Probably because I thought that I already know a lot about these techniques and wanted to do something totally different.
But after thinking about it and just start to work on concepts I came up with something interesting to work with.
