Original artwork description:

My collages are made from original monoprints, other printed material, papers and sometimes textile fragments. The acrylic monoprints I make in batches without any idea of what they may be used for. I sometimes start with an acrylic underpainting and then select papers and materials I wish to use. These are cut or torn in either a random or pre-defined way and reassembled to form an image, which is generally semi-abstract. All of my work is highly coloured and the images start with a colour or shape of an object. The composition is not defined at the beginning but arises organically, as I work with various prints and papers. The process is quite time consuming and sometimes I spend much time searching for the perfect piece of paper to finish the collage. The finished work is in an off-white mount ready to be framed.
