Prints

​Printmaking is the experimental umbrella expression I have embraced more than any other in this MAFA course. Surprisingly, it was the magic world of 3D printing that opened the door to this artistic discovery. My exploration began with an inspiring induction into collagraphs, leading me through lithography, frottage, mokolito, and aquatint, culminating in photo polymer gravure in November 2024. In early 2025, I discovered letterpress, and that has taken me down an entirely new and exciting rabbit hole!

A new experiment: making my own paper with added seaweed, then wetting it and processing it with photo polymer gravure of Irish moss in this image.

Experimenting with papers and process.  All 3 images are composed os off set litho of dried seaweed frottage with photo polymer gravures of Irish moss (left and centre) and double oar weed (right).  Papers: Left: Somerset satin; middle awagami tissue; right: black cartridge paper.  the inks are intaglio in left and centre images but relief ink in the image on the right.
