| "Campbells Soup Cans " Andy Warhol 1962 polymer paint on canvass When thinking of artists who work in multiples Andy Warhol is obvious, as I've referenced his Rorschach work earlier, which interestingly isn't one of his multiples I thought this contrast would be nice. The famous soup cans are 36 individual painted canvasses, there are variations in the flavour description but overall the images are repetitive. Shortly after this work Warhol favoured working with silk screen printing, which as a medium created for commercial use lends itself more to creating multiples. Its this cross over of commercial and fine art that evolved his signature "pop art" style. I'm working with lino print motifs and plan to go large scale to see what effects can be created. |

| "Once is an accident, twice is a revolution" Tom Hackett 2013 Tom recently shared his working practice with us and he spoke about this work featuring 1000 hand cast, silicone " jelly shoes" inspired by finding a lone, lost shoe. By working in multiples it changes the meaning of the object / subject. It changes something from ordinary to fantastical. Also challenging the ideas of hand made and manufactured process. The beauty of lino cut is it lends itself to easy repetition and also has a hand made aesthetic due to slight variation of print pressure and placement. |
