Isolated City
The original print was made using a traditional method of printmaking whereby linework is made by incising a exposed parts of a copper plate with acid.
Cyclists II
A monotype ghost print can be made by printing the above-described plate a second time, creating a more subdued range of tones, onto which expressive strokes can be added in a dark contrasting ink.
Cyclists I
The original print was made using a subtractive process where marks were made by repeatedly applying and removing ink from a flat plate using various materials. Once a monotype is printed, the ink is transferred from the plate onto paper and can never be printed in the same way again, making it a beautifully raw form of printmaking. It allows for gestural strokes alongside more intricate details.
Beauty in Caves
A linocut relief print inspired by the harsh intersection between urban cityscapes and the natural world. It leads the eye through a landscape where flora and fauna are forced to adapt to an ever-growing concrete jungle. This is a environmental commentary framed by an eccentric fish-bowl composition.
