First and foremost, my work is all about the drawing. The drawing is the foundation my printmaking practice I like to combine the drawings with that of texture and handwritten text, to give the overall finished piece a rawness that you would usually find in a sketchbook. Textures such as wall rubbings, Victorian fabric pattern, graphic pattern found on the linings of envelopes, and collage material, sometimes even photographic snipets. I combine all of the above in the medium of screenprint, where any mark can be transferred to the screen and printed. This allows me the freedom and endless opportunity to combine a range of mark making all into the one image using opaque and transparent inks.
