 | Within the oeuvre of my work, the whole gamut of human kinds' trials and tribulations; successes and failures, are explored. The range of my exploration extends from event, place and ritual to endeavour, symbol and concept. Elements within some compositions reference architectural form, representing the structures that man has devised to create society and civilisation. Visualised, is the way in which humanity has imposed itself on the natural world, how exploited. Compositional elements that are organic or apparently chaotic portray an oppositional viewpoint; nature as adversary to human enterprise. It is in the tension between these two forces that I place my mark.
I work with large plates using all the techniques of intaglio to create highly textured images. Colour is also introduced with screen printing. Being a process-based discipline –printmaking– it is important to choose the correct technique and materials for an image. I like to think of this as building plates, with different materials that will simulate the essence of the subject or idea I am about to portray. It is an exploration whereby a visual discourse occurs with different source images and ideas that will inspire the final compositions.
