Sander Schoonbeek: Time

It seems like it was months ago since I was in Japan and due to all the things going on I just couldn't find the time to write frequent update's. Last time I was working on my classic car models to go with the prints I have made (and I have made many). I used some of them in the Talbot Rice model and already screenprinted the picture I took of that. I have also been working in the glass department where I assisted the technician. She blew some large spheres for me which I cut in half to create a dome with the help of Kirstin (she is a 4th year graduating glass student whom I have been talking to alot while up in the glass department). I want to use these created domes to cover the model cars and thus "preserving" them. As I have mentioned many times before I think that scenes like these will not exist anymore in the (near) future.

I have also been expirementing alot more with airbrushing colour onto the screen prints I made. I feel like I have progressed alot and start to understand what works and why. I don't like to colour the big billboard one of the Plymouth Duster in the garage as the car is almost completely in the picture and thus it will be to obvious when it's coloured. However on the more abstract zoomed in pictures/screenprints I made I feel the colour helps to show the detail/shape of the car. I am making alot and am looking forward to making a final selection for the show, as I am a ferm believer of not showing everything I made just to show it.

I am also trying to make a tri-face billboard (on a small scale) that I will freeze inbetween 2 images as if it broke down. I think this emphasises the whole shift/breakdown in the automotive industry. Unfortunately I'm not sure whether I am going to be able to finish this little project as the woodshop technician is very busy with building up for the degree show, and I might not be able to use the woodshop.

On a brighter note I do have all the wood cut to size for my big billboard and will try and arange the image I screenprinted in small size to be printed up large to fit it. As we had to clear our studios over the weekend I am now located in one of the spaces where our final degree show will take place. later this week I can move to the actual space where my billboard will be and I can start putting it togheter (as it is so big it has to be constructed within the room).

I know it might all sound a bit complecated at this moment and I have done so much in the past few weeks that I probably forgot to mention a whole lot.

So to make up for that let's just look at some random pictures I have made during this period.

First some more screenprinting action
