About My Work
Printmaking has fascinated me to the exclusion of other media for 20 years . Once I discovered the technique of monoprinting nothing else would do. Because monoprinting is done “blind” by working through the back of the paper on to an inked-up surface the thrill of pulling the paper over, not knowing for sure what will be there and the challenge of having to respond in the next stage is exciting, a good enough reason for continuing.
The photolithographic prints were done at The
Curwen Press following a trip to the U.S and Canada in 2005. I needed to
deal with my experience of the great expanses of the western states, Oregon
and Alberta and the road journey between the two.
The “Bird” prints were inspired by the birds at my friend’s
house in Salem, Oregon who came to feed on the decks.
