People + Charcoal Prints

Again, I took the same print, however without the faces. This time, the goal was the make the viewer work of the image. In place of all names I put words such as Humans or People. As I said before, I did not feel it mattered who was on the cover of the magazine, which means it could be anyone. However, I do not believe it is something noticed by everyone. Giving reason for why the viewer must work to see the image and understand the print. 

Process: I ran a black flat as the background first and allowed that to dry. I then ran the text print about 6-10 times to allow the ink to thicken. Right after running the second layer, I placed the print in a box and sprinkled powered charcoal over the entire image. I allowed that to sit over night. The next day I wold shake the excess powder from the print, leaving the image with an almost felt fabric appearance. 

Mixed + Matched People Prints

 

My goal here was just to play with layering and moving the text around. There is not suppose to be any real organization going on. The whole point was it to appear as a large amount of information layered on top of one another with no real point to it. Kind of like a gossip magazine.

People + Us prints

Here I was playing with the idea that it does not matter who is on the cover of these gossip magazines. That people feed into it either way, so it really does not matter who it is. With that I removed all names and faces from the magazine cover and printed it.
