Gleaning apples

Year 3, semester 1 - Printmaking
Roadside, windfall apples became the focus of this project as an avenue to comment on consumption and sustainability through the concept of gleaning.
The technique of screenprinting was covered in our first workshop for the year, so I worked on an image of an apple core that has been digitally manipulated. Five layers of colour were used.

Also, with gleaning being my course for research, I made some gleaning bags using recycled newspaper.

With the abundance of apples available, I made apple jelly and used a manipulated image of Jean Francois Millet's painting, The Gleaners.
