Development of Human Factory

 Human Factory Part Two

After awhile of developing the designs from the sketches on the other blog post. I started creating designs in different formats that explore the Human Factory the theme of over-population, it may link to over-conception as well. Here is some of the designs have been made for a while. 

 The etching is of mother-nature has turn into half a normal tree and half a mechanical tree of the changes of a piece of landscape though time. It was a very time consuming design by the amount of textures, patterns and designs have to be hand carved with a nail and compass. 

Outcome of the etching when printed. The page I have changed by applying small quantity of water to help with the print on watercolour paper. There are other prints however they are really light difficult to see on photographs, even with flash on. 

The next design is a very unusual design on over-conception in a industrial theme. I combine the concept the industrial fish, it is on blog post The art of creating random crap. This time I thought of adding dead fish that have floating islands with a mechanical skull and factories built on top dropping bones into a ocean of bones.There was no exact plan with the design however it was to at the amount of food is consumed in our day lives and express it though imagery. 

Outcome of a very rough charcoal drawing. 

There is other works that are either not complete or they have a mistakes that need to be improved.                           

This concept is slightly left because after this photo was taken the other design was destroyed by adding too much oil pastel. The concept on the other hand is very interesting because it is a memorial to miners, similar to the memorial to solders. It also includes a form of a graveyard as well with left mining equipment that I have seen at the Big Pit.   

 This is the last part of the blog where I was etching on plastic to create images similar to the theme. The problem I have with the prints is the other one has lettering on the wrong side that is saying "Let it shine" however backwards when printed. 

The design is similar to the memorial to miners but this was etched from a newspaper article that was an landscape full of flowers  saying "Let it shine" on the picture. In my mind the picture brought a very eerie feel that I found very interesting to develop into a print. 

 This is the outcome of the prints when printed. There is more to come very soon at the mean time stay tuned.
