Artwork description:

This monotype print is Molly, an ex-slave who lived in the United States of America. The image comes from the archives held in the USA and highlights the importance of archiving and its contribution to history for future generations.

The image has been transformed through the process of printmaking using a method of printmaking developed over the last two years, created through a process of monoprinting and layering plates on top on one another to form the monotype print, creating an aesthetic akin to photography through printmaking.

This image is part of an ongoing Lost Generations project.

Materials used:

Printing ink on 300gsm printing paper.
