Description
About artist: I’m interested in process and materiality in printmaking, I’ve previously worked in letterpress, but returned to screen printing in 2017. You can find me applying or adapting an image-making technique, and then discovering ways to undermine, abuse, and subvert it. I love a happy accident, and the hands-on nature of manual screenprinting means that accidents are all too common. I’m disinterested in rigorous adherence to consistency in a world of perfect reproduction. Which is convenient.
About artwork: Originally part of a diptych, this piece is one of many I’ve printed over the years that relates to the journey from circle to square, and the codified steps along the way. 70 x 100 cm. Teal and a subtle gold to old gold vignette, which involved a day trip to London to pick up a jar of red gold powder pigment. There’s glamour!
