On the lead up to lockdown at West Yorkshire Print Workshop I was in the process of researching a way of transferring photographic images and drawings onto lino using caustic soda solution. I believed that the photo etch emulsion that is used with metal plates could work on lino. During what time I had before the workshop closed Its doors, I manage to succeed in making a working printable plate, but there was still a long way to go before I could make the process fully work. In the couple of months leading up to Print Day in May, I set some time on one side to revisit this experiment and really push it to its limits.
I’ll be taking part in a new print exhibition at Dean Clough Mill in Halifax. The shows begins on Saturday 25th February and goes on until Sunday 7th May at Crossley Gallery.… ‘Why should curators get to dictate tastes? ’I Know What I Like’ is an original exhibition in which leading Northern Artists have been invited to display one of their own works ALONGSIDE an individual piece by an artist they admire or wish to promote…’
