Selected portfolios 2000-2011


My current work is primarily UV Silkscreen Printmaking on paper.  My process is very involved, whereby I work from hand-drawn and painted imagery, alongside digitally generated and mediated imagery.  Typically, the "photographic" elements of the work have been produced through (my own) manual separation of colours, using digital editing software.  Where commercially produced printed matter such as newspapers, magazines, and books are generated through the printing of four colours only (CMYK or "process colour"), my manual approach separates imagery into 10-30 layers, for reconstitution in hand-printed silkscreen.  Most of my recent work – from 2007-present – is composed of several such constituent "parts", and is consequently printed by hand in 50-90 total colours. 
(The series' below the Present Work are selected examples from from prior bodies of work.  They are by no means, exhaustive, in nature.)
