Notes about the work
I’m working with a number of different techniques, so I hope these notes may add some clarity. But if you can’t find the answer to your question, please do get in touch, it’ll be a pleasure to hear from you…
Digital drawing / constructed photography
I’m making contemporary digital drawings, often sketched up in pencil before being redrawn on system. The drawings are usually editioned as pigment prints, often on metallic paper. Work can be supplied mounted and ready to install, or supplied unframed if you prefer. I tend to bond the work behind Plexiglass, Diasec mounting, which adds a rich, gloss finish that enhances the drawings really beautifully, making them more luminous, and brings them to life when light plays across the surface.
Works on Paper
More recently I’ve been experimenting with printmaking on beautiful 100% cotton fine art papers, usually sourced from Somerset or Hahnemühle, both are great. These editions are visually very similar to screen prints and tend to be framed behind glass in fairly minimal wood or alloy frames. The inks have the ability to create large areas of bold, dense colour, with an amazingly wide spectrum, as the 10 colour ink set now includes orange, green and violet pigments.
Experimental Print Club
In 2016 I started making more experimental small editions for my print club using an online subscription model. It’s a platform designed to deliver beautiful new works for the home or workplace in exchange for a modest monthly fee. The works are sent out to collectors in the post, three or four times a year. These collectible smaller works are produced exclusively for club members and the majority are only available on the day they’re editioned.
Digital Screen Art
Finally, for the time being at least, I’ve been experimenting with digital screen art. Kinetic works for flat panel televisions, computer monitors, tablets, laptops and projectors. A medium that allows for the addition of time, back illumination and movement. It’s an exciting prospect.
