Drypoint and Photo Polymer
The drypoint process is satisfying in that it is autographic. I made a drawing from a drawing of a walk (a remembered response to a walk).
The next step might be to get direct marks from the walks. Rubbings, tracings, casts etc. rather than impressions from memory. The prints I made were interesting to a point but didn't provoke. Not critical.
Photo Polymer lines, details and tones produced are incredible and to capture resonances of the walks with this is a beautiful way to mark make but I don't feel like I'm challenging things.
It might be more fruitful to explore further what happens when there is a distance between the drawing and the image so I can understand what characterises an immediate drawing in order to expand the conversation about what remains of the experience.
