ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This work forms part of a series of pieces about the disappearance of the humble sparrow from our towns and cities. Each mono print uses some of the same elements but each one is different not just in colour but form - just like the sparrows. I use inked blocks in layers to create the final piece with several passes through the press.

I make bold, quirky and apparently playful works often carry a brooding gritty undertone. By employing an agglomeration of printmaking, painting, collage, stitching onto a variety of surfaces my work is a lively regurgitation of current obsessions. My most recent output follows on from works concerning the vulnerability of existence in the natural world to the “Museumification” of artefacts, relics and taxidermy where the loss of original context renders the pieces nebulous and solitary. I am heavily influenced by iconography and the primitive depiction of the cave paintings of Lascaux and Australia For me making work is all about fear. It’s fear that draws me back to printing as a way of making marks and never more so than when I’m making mono prints. The sensation as I draw back the paper/cloth or whatever is thrilling and in that moment it is almost as if the work is made by someone else and I can see it clearly and where I am to go with it. It has pervaded all my work this “transference” from one surface to another.
