Original artwork description:

This simple composition idea still holds a lot of interest for me as I feel I’ve barely scratched the surface of the number of colour and seasonal variations. With Purple Patch I developed a new purple/lime green palette.

A monoprint is a one-off hand-made print, just as unique as a painting. I used rollers and dabbers to spread out ink on a smooth plastic board then made marks with a cloth and other tools. The ink was transferred to the paper using a hand-operated printing press. I built up layers of over-lapping colours by printing several times.  I incorporated textures by impressing inked up wallpaper and fabric. I also used paper stencils to make the crisp edges.
