The work is up!

I'm incredibly pleased and proud to say that the pieces are up. There is still some tweaking to do, but I'm already very happy.  A big thank you to Chris Sleath and all at Edinburgh Printmakers for making the install so smooth.  Really looking forward to the preview on Friday night.  There are also still places left for my talk on Saturday.

New etched metal plates ready for construction in to exhibition pieces

Final day of printing at Edinburgh Printmakers studio

A productive day. We made over 30 prints, many of which will be exhibited together to create an installation in the gallery space. I was really pleased with the colour combinations and the subtle ways the colours changed as they were layered over each other.  Here are some photographs of the final prints.
 

Progress - some proofs

Excited to be making good progress. Bronwen and I have been making proofs, having narrowed down a colour palette. Today we started creating the actual prints for the installation in my solo show in March. Photos to follow...

Some of the inked plates were beautiful.
