Last week I took part in a residency at east Street arts convention house.I was learning how to develop my skills using Risograph copies. This is part of my learning contract with the Arts Council via there DYCP grant award.
ESA have a room dedicated to all things Riso and it is run by staff member Hannah Platt, who is also a brilliant photographer, as shown by the pictures used in this post. The residency as mentioned is a core part of my skills development and enabling me to further develop my attempts to fuse screen print reprographics and comics into a new ( For me) form.
Having this extended access opened up a lot of potential creative paths that I’m looking forward to exploring. The work produced during the residency was a Zine for my upcoming exhibition at the Brain Jar, Hull, a new mini comic and a sketchbook zine.
Risograph is a rewarding creative process and if you have patience and enjoying thinking around problem solving. This has become an important part of the creativity for me.process and it’s application and the effect on the resultant work.
Plus, LOUD colours!
Thank you Hannah, Frank and ESA for making this a rewarding and fun experience. I look forward to returning sometime with my new knowledge and skill set.
