My work for this exhibition consists of prints using the printing techniques of monotype and collagraph combined. I like to use textures within my printmaking, which make these methods ideal for the results I want to achieve.
My interpretation of ‘order and chaos’ is a basic one, more to do with the methods I used to create the prints;
‘Chaos’ – is the construction of the collagraph plates using found items within the clutter (which I would consider my chaos) around me. It also represents the disordered application of ink on the monotype plates.
‘Order’ – is the cutting and rearrangement of the collagraph plates. Also, the layering of the monoprints.
I have tried to combine these two methods of application to produce work that have a sense of intended order along with a sense of freedom.
