Someone at my workshop last week...week before while wiping a plate commented "That there had to be a faster way". And there is of course, many.
I think that's why the use of intaglio for my project make sense. They are archaic, they're an investment to an image in terms of time and resources, they have a history of being reproduced to transmit images and ideas. They're perfect. It is almost like setting something in stone, they have that credibility of material.
Been thinking about papercraft tonight. Got to do some more research on it, but would be nice to construct some of this imagery out of paper as installation. Amazing what ideas come to while watching Danny Glover fight a Predator on tv.
It may resemble something like Thomas Demand does, constructing models out of paper and then photographing it. Or what Allison Norlen is doing right now. Where the drawings and models merge together, no separation in that both are drawings.
I wish I could import my own fonts into blogger as well...
