Theme and Variations
From 23rd July to 15th September there will be an exhibition of my work at the Upfront Gallery near Penrith.
I would get very
bored making all the images within an edition all the same so I
constantly experiment, varying the inking and wiping, making
additions or making a different version. This exhibition will
showcase these variations.
In these images of An Teallach printed from the same plate, the image on the left has been wiped to remove more ink and the pink colour of the Torridonian Sandstone has been emphasised.
ISometimes a plate will go through several "states" illustrated here. The second "state is on the left where clouds have been added and the plate has been more thoroughly wiped.
