Memory Lapse

And here is the final print!

I read this book The Night of the Gun by David Carr (great book by the way), which is where a lot of the inspiration for this came from. The book is about how he remembers the past verses what actually happened. So my idea was to play with the idea of memory and contortion, thus why I stretched the brain. Those little pod like things is basically a diagram of how dopamine is released into the brain.  

Memory Lapse Color Testing

 
 


After figuring out the print design and etching it on to three different plates, I had to select the colors. This took for what seemed like forever. These are just the basic colors I was testing.

Print Sketches

Sketch work of print work ideas. I was working with the idea of memory and contortions. If you can’t tell, thats a sketch of a brain on the left side. Its upside down in this picture.
