Carnival Clown
28cm x 19cm Multiple coloured reduction lino print

After brainstorming the theme of carnival, I generated a wide range of ideas. I refined these to a simple idea of the head of a single laughing clown. I was inspired by a visit to a fairground where I saw the strange heads whose open mouths you throw balls into to win a prize. I took photographs of my mother and used Adobe Photoshop to create a brightly coloured and simplified four-layer image. I used this image to produce a multi-coloured reduction lino print. I attempted to create an image that showed the old style of carnival entertainment.
