Idea

I was thinking i could make a light box out of books with holes so you have to look in to see my prints .. and my print plate ... something like this except with a hole to peek through.

Family album??


 Google images that gave me a different approach to my final piece.

Im Thinking i could change my idea from a mosaic to carving/cutting in to each page, but have a portrait cut-out of my granddad, then have prints of what make him up underneath his cut-out portrait..., eg. family, car, his farming hat etc. so i would still be able to have lettering and words in my piece. I could call my book a family album? it would still have the same drawings and prints I would have used in a mosaic, but this way it will be more 3D than flat..

Pictures I drew of my grand-parents


 My Granddad Peter Raftery, died age 92 he lived with us for 5 years before he passed.




My Nanny (Peters wife) Nellie Raftery, 72 when she died.
She had arthritis in her hands so my granddad got her a special key made so she would be able to open the car and their house.
