Test einer Idee. Erst durch den Probedruck begreife ich körperlich, was vorher nur im meinem Kopf war.

Testing an idea. Only through the test print do I truly physically understand what was previously only in my head.

In 2024, »Feste Drucken« was hosted by the Tucholski House in Loitz, Vorpommern – a former 18th-century hotel that is now used for cultural events. The house has a very unique charm. It seems that it has been several times remodeled and expanded over the decades. The house is a patchwork, a labyrinth, a small universe: crooked, winding hallways, rooms that seem stuck somewhere in the 1970s, old Art Nouveau doors. And then, at the back, the house suddenly opens up into a huge ballroom with a parquet floor and a gallery. A lush garden with old fruit trees where starlings chatter, and behind it, the river Peene meanders slowly and lazily.

I was completely fascinated by this place and wanted to capture this feeling of getting lost in the house. Because of the many staircases in the house, there are plenty of opportunities to walk in circles. I turned one of these circular paths into a short animation using monotype drawings.

I don’t usually work much with animation, and I really enjoyed trying out this medium.

I carved a version of my retro rocket design into an eraser to make a stamp!

I saw other people making stamps like this, and wanted to give it a try. I cut a little square of MDF as a holder to increase the distance between my fingers and the sharp tools while carving. I transferred a laser print of my design using acetone and went to work. Seems pretty okay for a first attempt!

Hi fedi folk - It’s lovely to be here! I just moved from mastodon.social to sunny.garden and think it’s time for an #introduction.

I’m Bearina, 30-something from Mannheim, Germany. I make #zines, #ArtistTradingCards and have become a #printmaker recently. I also got back into #photography a few days ago which was my first hobby. I got my first point and shoot camera when I was 12 and fell in love with it before that, using my parents camera and strolling through the neighborhood. I like seeing creativity around me and love to get inspired by other artists.

#SciFi is my jam and I love movies in general. And bears! Lovely creatures.

#DeGoogling right now! Also I’m working on relaunching my website and make it more #IndieWeb friendly and #accessible but also give it a bit more personality. I want to start a blog and share my thoughts. Which reminds me: Words are hard! I try my best but not always succeed.

I’m so excited to meet new people! I toot in German and English.

La talentueuse @punkjackdow vient d'imprimer sa dernière gravure "La Venus à la Fourrure", inspirée du roman du même nom par Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, mais aussi de la chanson de Velvet Underground.

Je ne suis pas objectif, et j'aime beaucoup !

Première impression depuis plus d'un an. Je suis un peu rouillée.

Künstlerisch bin ich auf der Suche. Nicht einfach. Purzelbäume im Kopf und durchgeknallte Akteure auf der Weltbühne. Deshalb schaue ich Altes an und verbinde es mit Neuem. Hier eine analoge Schwarzweiss-Fotografie (Akt Mehrfachbelichtung im Negativformat 4x4 cm, aufgenommen 2012), digital gedruckt überdruckt mit Linoldruck.

Artistically, I’m on a quest. It’s not easy. My mind is spinning, and the world stage is filled with crazed actors. That’s why I look to the past and blend it with the present. Here is an analog black-and-white photograph (a nude multiple exposure in 4x4 cm negative format, taken in 2012), digitally printed and overprinted with a linocut.

Seltsame Zeit. Künstlerisch fühle ich mich ziel- und orientierungslos. Ich suche. Auf dem Weg kombiniere ich Altes mit Neuem. Hier analoge Schwarzweiss-Fotografie (Akt Mehrfachbelichtung im Negativformat 4x4 cm, aufgenommen 2012), digital gedruckt mit Linoldruck.

Ein Schritt in die Zukunft, sicher nicht der letzte.

Strange times. Artistically, I feel aimless and disoriented. I am searching. Along the way, I combine the old with the new. Here, analog black-and-white photography (a nude multiple exposure in 4x4 cm negative format, taken in 2012), digitally printed with linocut.

A step into the future - certainly no last one.
