Norma Starszakowna

I found a book in the library on an interesting print artist called Norma Starszakowna, she works using lots of textures and I thought using some of her techniques in my work would help my development. I also thought it would help to give my work a more aged look like some of her pieces. She uses a lot of heat reactive pigment in her work, a long with different techniques to crush the fabric to create more texture. She also uses metal leaf in her work. I have now thought about testing the following materials out in my own work:

• copper or silver leaf
• spray paint
• different paints to mask parts out and then wash out to leave the remaining print
• wax to do the same
