Hybrid lino and Monoprints.
The monoprints and reduction lino prints were created with an iterative process of inking, pressing and cutting to reach the final image and as a result are one-offs. They are examples of the wide range of possibilities that printing offers when the work is part experimentation / part focus on an intended result.
