Woodblock

A new project! This is a relief print project regarding storytelling. We were to pick a story relevant to ourselves and put this into a single image.

I went with the story of what happened one night after work. I was staying in a 4th floor flat in Limerick with my flatmates. We had some wine and didn't finish the bottle and decided to cork it. Anyway - we went to bed and the next thing I knew was I woke up with one of my flatmates banging on the door and shouting. The flat was on fire. The t.v. had gone up in flames. My flatmate woke up when the wine bottle exploded from the heat. We used the fire extinguishers from the flat and downstairs flat too. Once the fire was out I noticed on the shelf beside the t.v. was a can of Zippo lighter fluid. Thankfully the fire was out before it reached it!!

So, I went and worked on an image for this story. The main elements were the t.v., the wine bottle, lighter fluid and flames.



Here are images of final prints:
