Printmaking Part 3 - Type Liar

These prints are my series of drypoint etchings in metal. We were required to make a diptic of something mechanical, or machine-like. I chose a typewriter. I applied paper to the plate when i printed it which allowed it to stick with glue, and the weight of the press. It started out being just about a typewriter, and all the aspects of it, but as I was working, I decided to make the project about the news. I hardly ever watch the news on TV because I feel they are constantly leaving so much out, and they only seem to tell the sad, upsetting things. So these prints are about the news, and how media today is contently censored by the government and various other people. We never really know if what we are reading, watching, or hearing is really the truth, or if everything is being covered up and hidden.
