Artwork description:

Evening Walk is one of a suite of linocut prints exploring the activity of dogwalking in suburbia. In this series I use the process of relief printing to record the bond between humans and animals in an everyday environment, suggesting the passage of time during the activity of walking.

I spend lots of time walking my local streets exercising our dog and this activity provides the inspiration for my art work, which starts with a simple line drawing recalling incidents on route from memory.

The bold graphic effects are achieved by using a number of linoleum blocks and opaque and transparent colour inks.

The cutting process begins by transfering my drawing onto the linoleum with red carbon paper and carving into the surface intuitively with sharp lino cutting tools.
