I have had a love of lino and woodcut prints for many years, particularly those of the Grosvenor School, and the images created for public transport information posters between the wars. Soviet art work and more contemporary artists such as Robert Gillmor, Paul Catherall, Max Angus and Dorset-based artist Liz Somerville have also an inspiration for me.
I enjoy the apparent simplicity of linocut and limited use of colour, and my work tends to reflect this. I look for pattern and form, unusual shapes or perspectives, and contrasts in tone and colour which lend themselves so well to the process of lino cut. I use chine colle is some of my prints to add a hit of colour, and use newspaper, sheet music, maps and other backgrounds to complement the image.
I like to experiment with the use of colour in limited form, and use monoprinting, hand colouring and reduction techniques. Local buildings, people’s homes and views from windows have been my recent inspiration as I continue to develop my practice.
