My interest in print started though the use of digital technology and began in 1996, after gaining an MSc in Computing. Initially, I produced digital imagery and used photographic printing to output both photographic and computer-generated works. While one of the original goals for using technology was to give employment and some sort of financial stability plus time for my art practice, the use of technology soon became an integral part of my creative process.
This led to the adoption of the 4:3 picture format for much of my work. However, the cost of digital printing on a larger scale and a sense of disconnection from the physical object led me to explore screen printing as a more tactile and accessible medium.
I’ve always been drawn to the idea of producing multiples—as a way to mirror other creative industries, reduce unit cost, and make art more accessible and integrated into everyday life.
