Tuesday Jan 8th

Messing about with the press - binoculars, don't know why they appeal so much - simple pleasures, self-contained, redolent with potentiality. The original drawing is far more amusing as the shadows have a bunch of activity but have no desire to develop that into monoprint. Had a go at drawing on an etched plate but the pressure is too loose and I can't tighten it. Think the damaged hand doesn't help, lala.

 Like these drawings but doubtful because they are fairly pretty. Maybe they're not.

Time for a walk.


Propose to spend the afto finishing clearing the studio.







































I'm an incompetent printmaker and though it has its moments I'II be frustrated soon and want to return to a medium I'm fluent in.
