• My recent works are monotype screenprints and digital collage editions inspired in part by the Fountainwell Archive, a ‘universal picture resource’ and printed currency from around the globe.

  I am trying to find a balance between the contradictions of the machine manufactured, the computer-generated and the hand-made image. My collages construct whilst the screenprints dismantle, with a self-conscious nod to the manuscripts of medieval book making and the art of the copyist and pre-printing. I'm looking for a convergence of these historical things as well as the contemporary conventions of print publishing, the photographic image and the personal occupation of drawing.
