Representing the watercolour patterns of nature in art.

I got hold of a box of old maps from the 1800s that a library was throwing out. They led to a project about journeys and orientation.

Rangipo Desert (The Desert Road) has always fascinated me. I wanted to use monoprint techniques to represent the layers of rich volcanic rock that are exposed in the cuttings.

Using ink to evoke an emotion or an atmosphere.

Printmaking is half about control, half about relinquishing control. I wanted to use the medium to explore the tension between control and openness-to-the-moment.
