Bronte Prints and a Cloud Shaped Like Me Dad



I've been going to the print rooms at UCLAN to use the facilities there to develop and produce a series of weather related prints about each of the Bronte sisters - plus i might extend the series to include Maria Bronte, Elizabeth Bronte and Branwell Bronte too. I've been using the weather records documented during the lives of the Brontes - i've isolated the individual numbers from the records and i'm over layering them to create dense, unreadable masses of black.


On another note - i was out walking the other evening with a friend and we spotted this cloud formation that has an uncanny resemblance to my dad - admittedly the mouth is a little slim, but the rest is pretty bob on.

    That photograph of the cloud is beautiful, Rebecca! Will your prints be available in the Parsonage shop? I hope you post the results here, it would be fascinating to see them. Thanks for sharing this project!
