Infrastructure ˈɪnfrəstrʌktʃə

noun

noun: infrastructure; plural noun: infrastructures

1.    the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities (e.g. buildings, roads, power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise.

"the social and economic infrastructure of a country"

Origin

early 20th century: from French (see infra-, structure).

In this project I am aiming to investigate the theme Infrastructure through printmaking processes

I am going to visually research roads, industrial buildings, mechanical machinery

For my practical based studio work I will be using various printmaking processes such as

-Intaglio

-Monoprint

-colllagraph

-Carborundum

In my work I will be aiming to convey my chosen theme through a series of prints, and create a piece or pieces of printmaking art which reflects the level of study I have undertaken in Printmaking throughout my degree so far.

I feel it is important to socially reflect on the change in traditional Infrastructure that modern development has brought about.Therefore I will be documenting the traditional industrial disused warehouses/ buildings / machinery and road networking systems that have declined in use and formed the journey to our now more ‘cyber existence’.

I will be aiming to communicate these ideas through Print.
