2nd version of woodcut 'Distant Thoughts' in process

My working process begins with the photograph which is used as a source of reference.  It is then interpreted, and adapted to suit the graphic medium of woodcut.

  • Fun aspect of art - more recent accidental art on paper to stretch the imagination. I'm enjoying the unpretentious spontaneity of the process. We are living in a world of visuals. We are spoon fed & it's decided for us what to see with little choice left for the imagination. These works of accidental art, are in reaction to this visual trend. A break from tradition.🙃. Monotypes on acid free paper, 420 x 497mm
