Thanks for visiting, it is a privilege to share some of my work with you. I am an artist and printmaker originally from Shropshire and now based near the lovely city of York, UK. My inspiration comes from the public and private spaces we find around us – their visual characteristics, our experience of them, and in what they tell us about the societies in which we live. I work mainly in printmaking and at times in 3D. You can read more about my work here and in the Artwork pages. I hope you enjoy the site - do get in touch if you have any questions.
This handmade limited edition collagraph print is from an ongoing series of abstract prints. The intention is to explore contracts in shapes, colour, texture and pattern through printmaking.
The first layer of the print has been made using three irregular-shaped plates, each including various materials such as gels and cements to create a range of textures and patterns in the print and each inked in three colours with some blending between the colours.
A second print layer has then been added, using strong geometric shapes in a contrasting colour. This layer uses thinly-mixed inks to create additional colour effects whereby the colours on the first layer bleed through the second layer.
The print is unframed (any images in the listing of the print in a frame are for illustration only).
The print is part of a variable limited edition. It is 'variable' because I have used different shapes and colours in the second layer of printing.
