AMONGST THE SHADOWS
Light, layers and transparencies have frequently recurred in my processes. To me, on a personal level they represent something that is there, but not there. A memory, or an experience. Alongside the repetition and duplication of images, represented as shadows and reflections. Many of my ideas combine mixed media printmaking techniques, such as solar plate etchings shown here, with photography and layered papers or textiles. Using light, subjects are etched onto steel plates, then hand inked and printed onto various surfaces using an etching press. Each print is unique due to the hand printed process.
