PRINT MAKING IN THE NORTH
Cumbria Februrary 2009.
Newcastle is one of the closest most vibrant cities near to my relocated residence.
I have Have become a member of the Northern Print Studio www.northernprint.org.uk/
The change of location, from London to Cumbria has been been a massive contrast and challenge. Whilst responding to this area I have been considering my practice whilst maintaining a link to the continuing approach within my artistic work.
Collecting and sourcing local images and objects I have tried to react to the environment and events using silkscreen as the main medium.
This has been a journey gathering bits of history and contemporary knowledge and combining the two to create original silkscreen editions and mono-prints.
The new technology within printmaking has made fabric printing an accessible way of making marks on material. I have been creating monotypes as well as editions within this medium. I have in the last year been exploring different ways of printing and exploring various material to print on.

Collaborative Work
collaborative work has become an element within my practice. Working with other art/crafts people to and produce work that combines different disciplines and talents.
I approached an upholstery in Alston, Cumbria. Kathleen. We produced several one off art/ craft hand printed cushions.
