Its really good to find tutors working in more than one of our OCA subject areas as I’m considering doing that myself in my final year (I mean at level 3/6) ..also in printmaking and photography.
I also found this video very interesting, and particularly liked the cross-discipline aspects of Katrina’s work.
Thank you both for your comments. Working in more than one area can sometimes help you to think outside the box and get out of your comfort zone.
I couldn’t make out whether the feathers were photographed or etched. Maybe they were a mixture of the two. Some close ups would have been good. I can relate to the excitement of waiting for photographs to be developed and how that is now lost. I suppose the upside is that our attics are now less cluttered!
Hi Olivia,
Well observed! The feathers in this instance are hand drawn and etched, although I have also done a lot of work with photographic etchings.
