These are a collection of linoleum prints revisiting the sense of place. Places that have captured a memorable moment. Moments of self-reflection, inspiration or emotion. Usually I am working with clay, however these prints are letting me explore mark making with a new material. These prints are from my sketchbooks collected over the years. I enjoy carving these plates and reflecting on memories of my time in that place.
Up until recently I have not had much time to reflect on my past work. Time goes so quickly and to have time to reflect on personal work is rare. My hope by visiting these past moments that they will unfold into my current body of clay work also centered round the idea of migration and place.
