At the heart of my printing practice is the idea of timelessness and encapsulating a gesture of love within an object.
My work can be demonstrated through the framing of the Lover’s Eyes, which were intimate and precious small pieces of art jewellery that expressed love from one person to another. I found these mysterious objects depicting unknown faces, intriguing and explored printing techniques that focused on the process and creation of long-lasting artworks, such as linocuts and screen printing. These methods add to the gestures of love in my work, as the process of either printing or carving by hand demonstrates a cultural sign that you want to be remembered forever. I have used a bold colour palette inspired by the National Gallery wall colours, that leaves a contemporary twist to the 18th century soft hues used in portraits and cameos. This relationship of using long-established printing methods and bright colours in my work will allow my exhibition to show a connection between the old and the new.
