Artist Statement

I have been making print based collages resulting from a residency in the Print Department at the ANU School of Art this year. Collage allows me consider and adjust my choices in composition and colour, minimising my usual image-making processes to two or three basic elements. Screen printing allows me to easily reproduce pattern and large blocks of saturated colour, I add to this hand drawn line and lino print, all of which I cut and paste onto a basic, woodblock ground.
