Monotype
25 x 20 cm
2020
The human being has been my primary subject for many years with the human head becoming the main focus. These, however, are not portraits of particular people, they are investigations of human, identity, emotions and feelings.
Narrative with Greko-Roman inspired mythology has also been a main source of inspiriation that sometimes informs my drawings as well as my monotypes.
Charcoal on paper and working directly onto a plate using a spontaneous monotype technique, has allowed me complete freedom of expression with endless mark making and tonal possibilities. My ever-changing collage technique has enabled me to ‘find’ my images without depending on source material or the necessity to work from life.
My intension is to capture the tension between subject, mark making and materials. The resulting image is often an intensly worked network of marks that hide other human identities beneath the surface, all of which were part of the necessary ‘building blocks’ to the final image. These identities emerged from a largely intuitive process once my initial source photos were no longer relavent.
