Portsmouth Uni: Number Through Print.

The aim of this project was to create an image or series of images that involve or reference a number(s), doing so using print making techniques. I decided to base my project on religion, more specifically on the book 'Dante's Inferno' which is a poem about the medievil belief of the '9 stages of Hell'. Each stage made for different types of sinners with different punishments. I focused on the 9th circle, which was split into four regions - traitors to their fellow man, traitors to their country, traitors to their guests/hosts and the last of which was where lucifer was held.





Region 1: Sinners are frozen in ice with only their faces showing.
Region 2: Sinners body is in ice with their heads poking out so as to be lashed at by Lucifers wings.
Region 3: Sinners facial features are frozen over.
