The Resonance of Obsolescence-Gocco Prints


I recently dusted off my print Gocco machine again to create a set of four all new 2-colour prints for Sweets Workshop's third annual My Goodness My Gocco Exhibition.


This year I really wanted to create a series and thought it would be fun (and a little different to my usual character based illustration work) if I drew a few of my favourite things which I had lying around the house. As it so happened the four I ended up deciding on had one thing in common they were all things that could be described as being obsolete, so that's what I ran with. The idea of obsolescence then got me to thinking about the noises that these objects once made. Specifically that when an item of technology becomes obsolete or superseded the noises they once made are no longer heard, so I decided to start a bit of a conversation between them.
