Melinda Clarke (1995)

This unfortunate girl just had a serious motorcycle accident and now her boyfried is afraid of her and she is SO hungry.

The originals were again movie stills. So, again, the image that came out in the end is somewhat an abstraction or iconisation of the original.

Some things worked well with this one. I found a very robust template material that WASN'T cardboard (which was so hard to work with). It was a kind of plastic that was easy to cut, but did not tear. These different properties of the material give the template a kind of Tiffany-Glass look that I like very much.

Some things did not work. There was only useless spraypaint in the whole of Ireland (I suppose no one builds model tanks and planes there, hence no little REVELL cans are available...), and the pictures came out dull and disappointing.

Upon moving back to Germany I made some tests, but never really picked up the art again. Too much work to do.  I still want to try out silk screen, there is still so much to discover.  Ah well. The time will come.
