Ghosts

Black & white beginnings…

(ghosts, dreams and a bit of travelling)
Hypnotic dreaming…tick tock…tick tock …then realisation of knowing I am in a dream…could I maybe venture out? Am I in control? I know I am dreaming…anything can happen…no boundaries…mythical and magical could become reality…could I connect with the spirit world…

What is  a Monoprint?

Monoprint uses the word mono because every print is unique. There are many ways to create monoprints, but I use the following technique for most of mine: These pieces of original artwork are created by applying coloured oil-based etching inks onto three plastic sheets, each with one primary colour. The image is worked directly into the ink and not the plastic sheet, by wiping & dabbing the ink. Each colour is then overprinted onto paper, using a press that is similar to a mangle, therefore an original one-off piece of artwork is created. The monoprinting process that I use is a lengthy process & at the end of the process, I risk all to push the print to the next level.

(This black and white monoprint is just one layer of black ink)
