My work is an exploration of the physicality of printmaking and of paper. Pushing the boundaries of what can be done by using an experimental approach and exploiting the opportunities offered by the repeat, I rarely make editions but build something more akin to object. These processes I find endlessly fascinating, where something is the same but not the same, working on each print individually but each informing another.The element of chance is vital in the production of these pieces and make little in the way preparatory work. I construct printing matrices referring to memory and experience with a germ of an idea and then use these as one would make preparatory drawings and start printing. Refining and over printing, working back and forth sometimes over long periods of time, an image evolves and resolves in the making.
The forest provides the starting point; the familiarity of daily walks that are repeated but never the same become a meditation on the unexplained, the theoretical and the unknowingly unknown.
