Shifting Divides

Along with Jilly Morris and Ruth Piper, I am currently organising an exhibition of drawing and print at Centrespace Gallery.  I will be exhibiting three of my ‘Geological Series’ screen prints, one of which has made its way onto the poster…

A new way of printing for a new body of prints.

Rather than dictating exactly which colours will appear on a print, I am letting the colours decide for themselves.  For my circle prints I am mixing inks to match colours from the key of a geological map, and then seeing what colours are created when the inks are overprinted.  A little bit scary, but very rewarding…

Nearly degree show time

I’m really looking forward to the opening of the UWE degree shows on Friday.  MA Printmaking is going to be fabulous (I know this as I have already seen the show and there are some incredibly talented people on the course!)

After three years of work, and many changes of direction, my MA show is ready. 
Thank goodness for strong magnets and entomology pins.
