‘Narratives’ is about the process of the graphic narrative. Each work in this exhibition evolves from a combination of thoughts and ‘found’ images, within the play of their juxtaposition new meanings spontaneously arise to suggest other, previously unimagined, images.
Pre-occupations with self, social insecurities and despair over the environment are explored through a series of linocuts, woven linocuts and quilted linocuts. Weaving together the same linocut, printed in two or three different colour ways adds a shimmering 3-dimensional quality to the surface of the print. Quilting softens the surface. Both devices work to disrupt the directness of the original graphic image and add new layers of meaning.
