My prints are produced from an inked, hand-cut block. No photographic or computer equipment is involved in their making.
All my work starts with a series of pencil drawings. When designing prints I have in mind the qualities of English mediaeval woodcuts, especially their makers’ evident respect for the tonal limits of the medium and the visual possibilities offered by the characteristic integral ‘frame’. I transpose a retrograde version of the final pencil design, freehand, directly onto the block. This procedure starts the translation of the original pencil drawing into a version proper to the new medium. The materials and tools employed in the process of making the block complete the transformation.
I print by hand to take advantage of the accidental and incidental effects consequent to the method. These are both appropriate to the robust images and ensure that each print is unique. I use only lightfast inks on high-quality papers made at Saint Cuthbert’s Mill in Somerset or by Arches in France. Hand-coloured prints are painted with gouache and/or watercolour.
