Hi all,
I was wondering if I could have some feedback on these prints I have made for my university degree! More specifically, whether the image and the intent behind it resonate with you as a someone who has had to finger-prick test.
Description - I created this print back in January when I was still coming to terms with my diagnosis. I was struggling at the time with the finger-pricking tests and found it increasingly painful, especially with how it limited my ability to do printmaking comfortably. I chose lino print because I felt like it was an act of protest against the bruising of my fingers, facing up to the difficulty of using my hands by utilising a process that is so physical and requires a lot of your hands. The image itself highlights the three fingers that I prick and the repeated image represents the relentless nature of having to check your glucose levels.
Thanks!
