UNO24 FIVE – Birdsong & Flower Moon
I’ve recently joined the Sussex Art Collective and this is the first group show I’ll be particpating in, showing some of my latest mono-prints, inspired by dance and movement. Do pop in if you’re in the area!
The Nature of Dance/Dance of Nature
I am inspired by many things, but nature, dance & music hold the strongest allure and provide the source from which I create my prints.
I walk daily in nature revelling in its wonders. I dance and draw, creating a choreography of marks. I film dancers and draw from the moving images, capturing the forms, rhythms, gestures & structures expressed in the dance as well as the music.
A mono-type is an original one-off piece of work, though it lends itself well to working in series. The process is a magical mix of layering colours, creating expressive marks, using stencils and discovering exciting, often unexpected, results from each pull of the press.
I studied printmaking in Australia in the 90s and have been an artist and art tutor for over 25 years.
