Monoprints

As a personal project, I experimented with using gel plates to create monotypes. They are a way of transferring images from a plate to a paper, and this is a series of magazine transfers using acrylics. The monochromatic color schemes make them seem almost melancholic with nothing to overwhelm the image. The texture of the monotype creates for an interesting cover for a notebook, along with the embossed Hmong heart motif on the spine of the notebook.
