Prints

Printmaking is used as a way to transform drawings; there is a consistent play between transitory, quick drawings, often from observation, and measured, considered printmaking.

[intaglio]
2022

Etching from observation on pre-prepared plates is a process enjoyed for its contradiction; where fleeting moments become permanent incisions.

Zoophytes
[cyanotypes]
2023

A series of cyanotypes using collages from archive images and found elements.
 


Metamorphosis
[intaglio etchings, collaboration with Connie Ashford]
2022


Generated by switching plates back and forth, three creatures are created. Metamorphosis is an exercise in loosening control and playing with the expectations of the traditional etching process.





A Dog’s Ear
[intaglio etching/letterpress/monotype/cyanotype]
2022


A Dog’s Ear seeks to expand what it means to illustrate the written word. Culminating in a printed book, various print techniques were used throughout to realise the ‘dog’s ears’ of the books read in the previous year.

Film: Drawing -> Printing
[various]
2023 ongoing

A continual practice, of graphic recording whilst watching films, is reimagined through the use of printmaking. Echoing the sentiment of A Dog’s Ear, the work seeks to investigate what it means to ‘illustrate’ popular texts.
