A House in the Woods Collagraph on paper 58 x 50cm 2008
Artist statement:
Using an otherworldly visual language, recent work follows today’s sensitivity towards issues of protection and security. Ideas for many of the prints come as a result of working with contemporary writers and poets and responding directly to their work.
The latest series of prints collectively entitled ‘Light House’ have been made during the first year of a current printmaking fellowship at The City and Guilds of London Art School.
Each work has its own conceptual origin; however in each piece similar greenhouse-like structures at once describe nurture, suffocation and protection.
Genre:
2D: printmaking & painting
