Monoprinting
Monoprinting is a very expressive way to mark make. While working on a very open brief – Shadows – I experimented with some monoprinting using string and corrugated card… I really loved some of the results.
Installation in tiergarten Berlin
Not sure of the rationale behind this one..!! We really just wanted an excuse to tie lots of bright twine around lovely old tress in a great big park in Berlin! We also made paper aeroplanes and filled plastic eggs with trinkets… its all imagemaking!
What day is it?
Having always been completely in love with both words (okay talking!) and printmaking… letterpress is ultimate way for me to create a piece. As I do not own (yet!) a Letterpress I very happily went along to the lovely people at the National Print Museum (http://www.nationalprintmuseum.ie/) to learn how to select, set and print my own letterpress creation… it was heaven and I hope to do a lot more!

About Brief Exchange:
Brief Exchange is a group graphic design | illustration | photography | art exhibition that invites its participants to compose a brief; to be exchanged with another participant’s brief at random.
The aim of Brief Exchange is to give creative people an opportunity to develop and promote their own work without the limitations often created by clients’ feedback and money. The show also aims to create a network for creative people who might not know each other yet. Brief Exchange has been set up and is curated by Noeleen Doheny.
The first show was printed and ran in two venues, one in Cork and the other in Dublin. The second show is solely exhibited online on the Brief Exchange website and on facebook
Dee’s brief was
and her response was
Responding to a brief to create a poster for The Beatles song A Day in The Life I was determined to stay away from the usual psychedelic look or indeed collage a la Sir Peter Blake. Instead I wanted to respond in a more abstract manner. With ideas initially inspired by the Bjork Biophillia project and the image has been created by photographing patterns formed by the bass vibrations of the song.
Micks brief was
