leave a comment »

An experiment on wallpaper (just one sheet so far). A Great Aunt’s birthday do, she’s lying on the chez-lounge at her own party surrounded by her grandchildren and various descendents. I made this piece for a wallpaper exhibition being organised by East London Printmakers – ‘Off the Wall’ at the Dreamspace Gallery in London, 22nd March – 9th April.

Women strange

with one comment

This is a set of 4 unusual ladies that I drew and screenprinted on my recent artist residency in a Manhattan print studio. I wanted to create some lady characters who conveyed a subtle and curious power. They are strong women! Their personae and attire are influenced by tribal costumes, masks, animals and birds.
