Circular Economy

2024
Monoprints
10x10cm print area, 15x15cm paper size, unframed
Printed on Somerset Satin paper
 
A series of monoprints exploring timber production as part of a sustainable circular economy.  The bottom layer is monoprinted papers used as chine collé, a drypoint etching of circles was printed over the papers and then several further layers of direct monoprints added.
There is much variation throughout each print depending on how each paper reacted to the ink making each print fascinating close up.  With feathery edges from the chine collé and hidden shapes from the direct printing this is the beggining of a fascinating line of enquiry. 
Two further prints in this series will be exhibited and available from the Southbank Printmakers mini print exhibition 1st October - 1st December 2024.
