The other city #2

27/1/2016

The second in my series of four solar plate etchings underpinned by Foucault's notion of heterotopia.  The experimental palette consists of three blends of the unique Stay Open Hawthorn inks I've been using for some time; their consistency and blending characteristics create subtleties of colour and transparency that are particularly effective with these images and the intaglio printing process.  I have created a limited edition of 10 prints.  
A good day at the office you might say!

Privileged to be one of the 583 Artists who have made 583 prints from 43 Printmaking Workshops. 
The Hot Bed Press Print exchange exhibits the diversity in Contemporary Print today.  “This year we expanded the boundaries to allow 4 university print departments to take part from Salford, Birmingham, Leeds and Liverpool. It’s good to see students embracing this, getting into printmaking and editioning, and finding out about the network of print workshops around the UK” says Sean Rorke, Creative Director of Hot Bed Press.
The 20:20 Print Exchange will then tour to West Yorkshire Print Workshop in February and Liverpool John Moores in March.  More venues will be confirmed soon.  See www.2020printexchange.com for more details and updates.  All the prints also go on a Flickr site where you can also see the prints from previous years; see www.flickr.com/photos/hot_bed_press/

New year! New work! - The other city #1

Historically significant and yet purposely set aside, sites and spaces such as this 'dark dwelling' [Foucault, 1967] simultaneously reflect and unsettle what surrounds them.  A new series of solar plate etchings from original source imagery I collected on the Balearic islands during the autumn of 2015.

    Seeking out sites of heterotopia in the common landscape; at once familiar but set aside or transitory, disturbing what surrounds them.  Re-imagined through analogue photography, projection and printmaking.
