After a career in art education I achieved a long-held ambition to return to study and complete a master’s degree in 2018. That has allowed me to develop a more coherent practice within printmaking.

Front Street I, II, & III

Triptych of Etchings
50cm x 37cm (Framed)

 

For the Metamorphosis project I wanted to capture something about the place where I live and the changes I see as I regularly walk through the village. I dragged the prepared etching plate along the street, allowing the physical nature of the place to create the image. I printed using stencils to mask the ground etch; by doing so I have allowed the viewer to see different aspects of the street. As each layer is added, the view changes.
