New Work Part 1 - October 2012

The faber art books have provided a format and backdrop to the development of the work. 
I like to incorporate the incidental text and the serrated edge.

Significant Summer Developments 2

When discussing the development of the work, during the summer with my friend Stella, she recommended Gum Arabic printing. I found a gum arabic workshop at Neo Artists Studio in Bolton and it was a revelation! The "plate" is created using an old style carbon photocopier which lent itself perfectly to my work. I was amazed by the quality prints and have since used both those prints that I created and further prints to develop my work 





I also liked it as the plates began to break up and arranged the fragments from different prints together
