New Prints
Across the Sound II (Bylot Island), 2010, is a variation on a landscape image which I originally printed in black and white in 2009. It features Bylot Island, home of Sirmilik National Park ("Sirmilik", an Inuit word, means "place of glaciers"), as seen from Pond Inlet (at the top of Baffin Island, Nunavut) across Eclipse Sound. Across the Sound II shows the same image as the 2009 print, this time cut in reverse and printed in white ink on a variety of coloured (painted) papers. It is thus a "varied edition" (V/E): although the printed image is the same in the entire edition of 100, each background is individually-painted and therefore unique. Contact the artist to inquire about other variants in this edition
Linocut Prints
These linocut prints are examples from a large ongoing suite of black and white linocuts which date from 1993. These are the source prints from which the Tesserae series derives. Linocut, like woodblock printing, is a relief printmaking technique, the only difference being the medium into which I carve my image (ie., linoleum, as opposed to wood). My subject matter comprises both inside (still lifes) and outside (landscapes), sometimes both within the same print. My interest in black and white linocut lies in its uncompromising graphic directness, and the challenges it presents to the painter in me, whose great pleasure is working in colour. In the absence of colour, in these prints I have had to rely on other visual qualities and formal elements: composition, texture, pattern and the range of marks available to the linocut technique. Working in this medium has been an enormously informative experience, and I think the influence of working in linocut is evident in my recent gouaches.
