Body Parts for Sale Series - 01 Sperm


Body Parts for Sale Series - 01 Sperm
This print is the first in my Body Parts for Sale Series.
I wanted to create something that with a movement, an inward direction kind of as the inversion of an explosion.
I started with a 1 mm cardboard that I glued vlieseline on using spray mount. The vlieseline holds a lot of ink and is a good way to achieve a black background. Then I drew all the lines. I was hesitant about if I should put the small fit in the middle, maybe it is too literal, the sperms on their way to the egg. In the end I chose to do it. I wanted the gravity in the centre.
