monoprint

Cover the plate in ink, remove most of the ink, print what is left on the plate. Repeat the process again, maybe wipe the plate, maybe leave some ink from the previous print and see if it comes through in the next. One print per plate.

Some of these were displayed as part of my foundation degree show at Morley College.

They are part of a body of work that explores memory as fragmented, unstable and constantly changing. The monoprinting process was a way of working with traces. Images are removed, altered and carried forward through the marks each print leaves on the plate. Each print exists as a single image but also as part of a wider sequence of overlapping fragments. Previous images can resurface within the next.
