I m attracted by various subjects but travel always produces something. The Net Curtain series was prompted by a visit to Donegal where houses are often abandoned because of economic or social reasons.The empty houses are sombre places where the torn curtains seemed to sum up the desolation. In the studio I set up junk shop curtains and drew directly onto the block. The prints were made in small editions of six using the “reduction method” which entails one block being cut back for each colour and then overprinting. The work is on black paper using several layers of transparent white ink. “70 Years” is a woodcut on Chinese paper and shows the China Flag proclaiming 70 years of The Peoples Republic of China.
