A spring day of printmaking.


Spent an exhilarating day pulling some monotype prints from an intaglio press, I love this process because it lends itself to spontaneity and expression. You have to work fast and this creates a certain anxiety..which forces you to let go of the control, keep moving and playfully experiment!
