The Sailing Heart
Ink on Paper
This print took me a long time to assemble. I created the template out of broken vinyl pieces, and to put the pieces back together took much longer then I anticipated. I could not decide on an image to create upon the template, and ended up basing my final design on the shape of the center piece. It looked like a heart to me, but when I flipped it over it resembled the sails of a sailboat. I used this piece to bring different meaning to this print. Turned one direction it is a heart, but turned over it is the boat I created with one more piece. I decided to add other elements to represent different types of sailing weather. The sun, the waves, and the rain. Though it was frustrating to fit the different pieces of different vinyl records together, it was very exciting to finish this print.
