- She produces a wide range of products and it is clear that she has a passion for putting her illustrations into different surfaces.
- Lousie Lockhart is a really good example of how disaplins cross, for example in the lecture theater we where sat with , textiles and illustration and the vast majority of her work related to both subject areas.
- Her process involves using cut paper to draw and compose with before digitally editing it and using method like lithography and resograph to print the final image.
- Scale as well alters depending on the context of the design.
really love the playful and free feeling nature of her work , and it is a feature that i think that my practise is lacking.
- Her used of very simple shape , handwritten type and colour help clear communication but also still translate the hand of the maker.
-Pattern and repetition is also incorporated into the designs which i really like as this makes the image more aesthetically pleasing and allows the different elements to work cohesively together.
- She tends to approach all of the products in the same way but she said that when it comes to selecting colours she thinks about them as if she was going to screen print them. So no more that 3 colours. It makes it a bit simpler and cheaper but at the same time giving the work another dynamic.
- It is good to see a practising print artist being able to make a vast amount of products from textiles to ceramics and is a good example of how print and print aesthetics are still wanted.
