I’m currently studying Textile Crafts at the University of Huddersfield UK. I am in my third year of practice. I specialise in Print this involves some of the following; Screen printing Laser Cutting Designing prints directed at illustration, advertising and fashion. Drawing plays a big part in the end result. i think keeping a diary of my traces of thought and decisons is very important for me to look back on, and for other people to gain an insight. Enjoy :)

ARTIST SUGGESTED BY ROBERT CLARKE

while in todays monograph lecture the artist KIM BECK was mentioned.
I've already noted her down on my delicious page.
Her context is very similar to mine. She creates prints of urban environments printing sketches of road signs, pilons, buildings, roadside structures ect.
Here are some quotes I took down as Robert was talking about her work
'Abstracted from the real'
'rhymictic quality of the lines'
'subtle differences'
'not to regular'
'oblique turning'
'emptiness'
'shes taken a theme and worked on it in many different ways, living in an urban environment.'

heres an example of one of her works, you can see now how Roberts quotes really describe these prints.There like silhoettes of road signs jumbled together. Quite graphic and linear which I always like.
Love this image, I have a lot of refrences to lines in my work, I think its what gives it that graphic look. clean cut, straight and neat.
