Exhibition Statement
In my artistic practice, I am inspired to explore innovative processes, frequently leading to an intense focus concentrating on using one process, or a combination of processes, throughout a series. Contemporary printmaking involves many approaches including new digital approaches, renewing age-old techniques, and printing on and with alternative materials and tools using a myriad of printed formats.
In Faces and Flowers a selection of works are presented from a series that focuses on the repetitive use of a limited number of digitally manipulated images, or found materials, which are used as the point of departure in the processes of cyanotype and screen printing.
The works were created using a range of support materials (paper, raw canvas, wood panels, acrylic sheet), and combinations of techniques to create the final images.
I would like to acknowledge Farouk Kaspaules for his introduction and encouragement in the use of the techniques of cyanotype and screen printing.
