These prints were inspired by the use of dates in On Kawara's work. Using alphabet stamps I began printing dates that have some significance to me, this being my Grandfather's birthday. This skectchbook sample shows how I began experimenting with layering and ways of presenting the printed dates; cut out letters and placing them over old book pages, cut outs on simple brown paper or layering tracing paper over book pages. The tracing paper sample works well as the translucent qualities of the paper means that you can still see the words on the page, yet they are slightly out of focus or faded.
