Influenced by the urban environment, several elements resonate in this series of prints. I find surfaces and marks attract. I view weathered stone, the scripted flow of graffiti and layer upon layer of bill board posters, and believe they have their beauty. I often combine two factors in pieces and here the figure is the tandem factor, providing meaning and a content to be pondered upon.
In printmaking I work in an intuitive way developing a style in the spirit of "palimpsest", which is the term for an ancient phenomena of erasure and layering of an image or information, first recorded as a method of re-surfacing stone tablets by Roman and Greek Civilizations. Layers of print have been cut, torn and reassembled, then embellished with fine gold wire & gold leaf drawings to complete these unique one off designs.
Each resulting layered work is mounted in a clear box frame creating a modern look with fine contemporary styling.
