Currently, I am concentrating mostly on lino cut prints. I always enjoy the physical process of carving and cutting the lino block, allowing the different cutting tools to produce marks and textures to build up the final design. I apply inks in thin layers, often with a leather dabber, producing subtle gradations of colour within each layer of printing.
I have just started exploring the possibilities of mono printing, and of combining mono print with lino print to create more painterly effects. I also enjoy experimenting with printing on to different papers, combining watercolour, gesso, and digital giclee print to create interesting surfaces.
Much of my work is inspired by the Yorkshire coast, maps, poems and stories, and Sheffield itself. Artists I love include Melvyn Evans, Michael Kirkman, Edward Bawden and Eric Ravillious. Old railway posters, and graphic and textile designs of the 1950s are also a source of inspiration.
