Printmaking, Drypoint on Paper

Ships in a Tube
I have a love of natural objects that surround my every day life. I also have an extensive collection of junk shop finds and things that family have passed on. I am interested in what objects might mean to us on a personal level. I am also fascinated by change and what it brings about, such as movement of light through out the day, and how things decay over time. Observing a still life that I had set up over a period of a week I wanted to convey some of those themes in my original print made from the sketches. This plate was inked up in more vibrant colours, then flick wiped which added a new dimension to the work, conveying a more energetic dynamic. Although the pallet was still dark in tone and mood, this methodology conveyed a strong presence in the work, showing another side of my personality.

I still love to paint and experiment in different media. However my work has nearly always involved photography as a starting point. I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing wrong with using photography as part of a process, in fact at Art school we were actively encouraged to do so. It was an exciting time we lived in then and now we can see it's fruition in this digital age. If you look at my sketchbooks during open studios you will see the progression and thought processes derived from this media and how it can lead up to a finished work as well as sketches from life. Individually, the photographic and the printmaking processes produce their own fascinating and often unexpected results, whilst allowing artist's to push the boundaries of the materials. These processes have helped me define form, texture and pattern in the process of image making. As an artist I am interested in environmentally conscious works using specific materials to explore our relationships to the spent resources around us. I have been actively relief printmaking with re-used polystyrene to highlight the inadequacies of our recycling facilities and overproduction of waste. I have run print workshops themed around this and exhibited my own prints made using this material. Currently I use intaglio and relief printing techniques such as; etching, drypoint, collagraph, linocut and Monoprint. 'When an Artist looks around their environment they are not only observing but noticing something. Also they may be aware that their observations are coloured with their own ideas and or physiological impressions, which can impact on their approach to what they are creating, giving it is character. In my more recent work I have been exploring the personal meanings of objects and places and what they convey to us over time. I like the idea that the context of an artefact or a place can have a powerful influence on our understanding of it and the emotional responses that we are likely to have towards it’.
