About The Artwork
Printmaking: printed on ragpaper and Monotype on Other. Gumprint is a related technique to lithography. It allows, by means of gummi arabicum, to print from laser copies. I use my original sketches from life drawing as the final line drawing onto my prints by this method. Before printing I create a shadow image with diluted china ink applied with a brush onto the virgin ragpaper. Then colour is added to act as backdrop for the line drawing by means of a printing press. This may involve several passages through the press to build up the colour. It is a multilayered process. At the very end the gumprint of the line drawing is added in a final passage through the press. The result is a kind of 'trompe-oeuil', an interplay between the shadow image and the life drawing.

Switzerland
No better school to train the eye than the study of the human figure. In years of life drawing classes I have acquired a sensibility for the beauty and uniqueness of the human body, catching vitality and movement in a series of rapid sketches which are then translated onto canvas, board and paper. In my prints and graphic work I create monotypes using the origianal drawings which are applied as gumprints - a technique related to lithography - onto rag paper by means of a printing press.
