Stone Lithographs
Frans Masereel Proposal 2009
‘Landscape pictures are evocative, and aim to give us the quality of a place’- Edward S Casey. Using the medium of lithography and the data display employed by computer software, the project aims to re-implace the landscape of CERN to evoke a speculative response. The proposed project requires dedicated time to work on a series of hand-drawn stone lithographs.
In June 2008 I was granted two weeks access to the limited stone lithography facilities at Middlesex University. The combination of litho crayon, tusche washes and luminous felt-tip markers highlights a resonance between CERN’s visible architectural dimension and the visual display of quantitative data; exhibited as informative though speculative messages displayed on notice boards.
The preparatory prints demonstrate technical knowledge gained and a starting point for a series of Litho Graphs. A residency set for November 2009 at the Frans Masereel Centrum will enable production on a larger scale, to improve hands-on experience and therefore quality of print.
