Filmimg By Numbers Homage to thCinema Published by Faine Contemporary Art 2016 5 mono-prints + 1 a/p
The title refers to the film by Peter Greenaway 'Drowning by Numbers'. A line of text, a phrase, a quotation or an overheard snippet will often provide the departure point for an idea. I try to vary the formal grid structure of my prints, a device I first used as a foundation student with different grids, often containing contrapuntal spirials of carefully mixed colours using an eye dropper to impercptably change adjacent areas so that the changes are only perceived when one stepped back from close scrutny. This print uses two sets of twenty five films each with a sequential number from 0 to 24 in its title e.g. Zero Hour, One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Five Easy Pieces, Friday the Thirteenth. Each circle contains a movie still and its title, plus a large diamond dusted centrally placed number from the name of the film. |
