I approach my practice
as a contemplative activity. My images are often derived from
fragments of medieval paintings, frescoes and icons. Recently
the hand has provided
a focus for my work, a framework for the exploration of frailty,
vulnerability and the
presence of the divine.
My work is created using an intaglio printmaking technique.
Plates are made in a very
physical way, scoring and cutting into the surfaces. Gold leaf
is often applied to the
paper prior to printing, making each piece unique. I think of
these works as
contemporary icons, points of stillness amidst a fast turning
world. |
