Before beginning the prints
I first wanted to identify the unique, technical and conceptual position
of printmaking, allowing the prints to exist in their own right (not illustrating
my own painting practice).
Notions of flatness; the picture
plane; the material of paper; gesture/finger mark being able to break
the painted/printed surface and of reproduction all were considered in
producing this series (suite) of prints.
With an assistant I was not
restrained by technical practicalities. Therefore, more able to pursue
the print in the spirit of playfulness, allowing experimentation to development
and creating new corridors that ultimately affected the direction of the
final result.
What I have created are prints
that differentiate themselves from the paintings on canvas, developing
their own unique position and ultimately pushing practice into richer
territories.
