Inktober 2021

practice to plates

∙ 31 days ∙ 31 prompts ∙ 31 plates ∙ 1 story

Inktober is an art challenge that encourages daily practice through the days of October. Every year a new list of 31 prompts is released and artists from around the world can create their interpretation of the word in ink. This series below is from Inktober 2021. Instead of ink drawings, Svetlana etched 31 copper plates, creating a series of intaglio ink prints. She wrote a sentence using every word each word in order and by Halloween had a complete story with intaglio ink illustrations.

A story of monotony…

The 31 sentence story prompted the stop-motion animated short film, “The M(a)notonist” made from paper puppets and ink.
