Printmaking with recycled materials
Using recycled milk and juice cartons I make drypoints and stencils. colour has been added to some of the prints using the chine colle method. this really appeals to the collage aspect of my practice. and, as ever, drawing matters.
The monoprints are coloured using Akua water based inks with some taking 8-19 passes through the press!

Covid Nights
This current and ongoing body of work comprises very large drawings on archival Fabriano paper made with charcoal and soft pastel.
during the second lockdown in England, after being granted a short hiatus in the summer of 2020, I wasn’t sleeping well. I did a lot of night drawing that included the darkness, contradicted by the sense of hope that my memory of more joyful times insists on.

Covid Covers
Moved by the power of eyes to reveal personality and character, throughout the pandemic I’ve been drawing friends and family, when masked, at random moments. I will be adding more here as I draw them.
all portraits on A4 cartridge paper, drawn with ink and chopstick, apart from Issi, drawn with pencil on tracing paper.
