The textile and design students were playing around with the heat press today. I was watching them from my seat with curiosity and a little envy. It looked like they were having so much fun and were creating really cool things. I was just sitting scrolling through images trying to get inspired. So I decided to have a go and see what I could create. I watched long enough to get a few ideas, one being create a stencil for ah image, this create a sort of illustration. I quickly got the hang of it and found it so much fun, if there hadn't been such a long que I probably would of made millions.
For my stencil i drew and cut out little CCTV cameras. I was thinking about one of the concepts and issues I had already looked into which was to do with the government having loads of access to our personal information and being able to watch our every move with CCTV cameras.
Two examples of my heat press experiments (Images authors own.)
These could turn into really illustrations. It is also different from anything I've done before which is quite exciting. I don't know much about prints or using them so it will be an experience to find out.
New Ideas
I was making a playlist full of music with political messages when I thought of another issue within society that would be good to look at and use, slut shamming. It's a subject I feel very strongly about which will help make my work more passionate and genuine.
