Last week I got some exciting news when I found out that I had been selected as the new Artist in Residence at the Ochre Print Studio in Guildford. I have been making work at the studio over the last few months, learning screen printing and adapting some of the drawings to print. However having the residency will allow me so much more time in the studio and give me the chance to develop some new ideas and techniques as well.
So a period of experimentation is beckoning, playing with ideas and staring to explore colours more. Most of my recent work has been in black and white and now feels a good time to expand into other directions. The screen printing allows for over layering of colours, so depending on their respective transparency new colours will be formed. Endless possibilities to explore and see what happens. This is how I like to work best, not single ideas but a range to play with, examine the results and then push forward on the most interesting until something really positive emerges.
That’s the adventure not really knowing where you are going and what might happen. Watch this space.
