Aliens in the Sahara desert…from rocky beginnings…

(Inspired by Saharan desert rock art)
Aliens tell their stories through imagery on the rocks. Characters emerge from the imagery and are given a life of their own. The characters live somewhere between the imagination, the spirit world and the soul, accessing them through the mind and soul…transferring energy to bring them to life. I ask the connection for help and trust in what materialises. Friendly entities surface to help and amuse…

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.
