Overlaying prints
Exploring tone - Inked up the plate and printed it three times. The gradation of tone is from repeating the print without adding more ink.

Autonomous callograph created using 5x10cm sections of a variety of wallpaper stocks:
I used geometric shapes to create the compositions which I can used to resemble letterforms or architecture.
Printed strips of wallpaper
These were intended to replicate the texture of the fields and tramlines running through them. I can experiment with order and repetition.
Structural composition:
These organic textures, particularly the 'snow' textures can be transferred onto farming tools and machinery to create a visual language within agriculture.

Sample Book:
Bought some GF Smith stock to test print. This will be used as a reference book
Tramlines
