A series of prints inspired by songs, music and performance
My prints are almost never straightforward reproductions of my other work but conceived
as originals in their own right. There is a series inspired by music - songs, performances
that serve as starting point for a varyingly abstract composition. These are mostly
assembled as “digital collages” - the starting point may be several layers of watercolour
sketches, pencil drawings etc which are then manipulated and overdrawn in the computer
to produce an original which only exists as computer code. I find working with this
new technology extremely exciting - and the resulting pictures could only ever be
produced in this way.
There are other prints in an ongoing series titled - “Great Misunderstandings of
The World”. These are produced in a similar fashion and almost always start from
a series of watercolour paintings - which are gradually refined and manipulated to
produce the result I am looking for. They make me laugh.
