about my work

"my work intends to celebrate the pleasures of paradise as well as highlight its illusion."

All my work comes from an interest In the way information is presented, how we perceive it and what we believe to be true. This is reflected in the materials and processes I choose to make my work. I start with digital collages made from found images, these may then be transformed Into screenprlnts, lino prints or monoprints. The intention is create a print where the origins of the medium are uncertain.

My most recent work is derived from the garish colours and over exposed images of travel photography. Using the pages of holiday brochures, I collage famous landmarks and exotic flora and fauna.

The process of cutting out, layering and exaggerating colour is used to reflect the unnatural enhancement of the landscapes presented in glossy magazines. These images give unreal expectations of a place and fuel our desire to experience the pleasures of 'paradise' and the exotic.

screenprints

All the screenprlnts are printed by hand, in small editions on archival paper. The details for each print. regarding size of paper, size of edition and price are shown next to each Image.

digital prints

The digital images can be made to order, so you can choose an Image and have it printed at any size on gloss or matt paper. The maximum height Is 180cm. They are printed using archive quality inks, which means they will stand the test of time. Prices will vary according to size but as a guideline an A4 image will be £20 up to £110 for A 1. Please contact me if you would like to purchase a digital print.
