Conceptual collage I did of a street, featuring the tenement print. It's a flap that opens to display interiors of flats. I ripped up some cardboard to expose its corrugation and stuck some cutouts of building site signs. I stuck this over a random page I ripped out a magazine, and another picture of Nancy. My note reads: 'Who we are is how we communicate, our identity is our/a language. Universal?'
I also made a sample - the print repeated on plain calico. At this point, I began looking at the brickwork around the windows in my lino print and thinking about how I could include that in my design work.
I traced around a bank card in the way bricks are typically laid, and coloured them in with various neutrals. I had a load of old train tickets, so I punched holes in their corners and linked them with jump rings - absolutely inspired by the 1960s Paco Rabanne metalwork dresses' which I included as they' designed to fit in the card space of a wallet and would therefore be already scaled to the coloured 'bricks'.
Page 23 is more tracing around a bank card - although this time I made it into a paper collage of the colours and designs I had accumulated that far. I wanted to play around with proportions and make it look a little less conventional, so I split an A5 piece of paper into four segments and used that as a template for the further development on page 24, rearranging them slightly so there was no discernible repeating colour.
