Improvised Rhythms

'Improvised Rhythms' is a series of carborundum prints in which compositions are built up of numerous marks and gestures of different paces produced as a result of spontaneous, rhythmic engagements with surface, materiality, and colour. Painterly daubs, gestures, blotches, and strokes dance over each printing plate and find new rhythms through these moments’ engagement with materiality. Feeling out-of-rhythm and using this printmaking process as a means of developing a new rhythm within my work. A feeling of being present with a mark or form and staying with it. Exploring the ways that colour bleeds and glows and is gradually absorbed by paper. Progressing from immediate, saturated shapes full of ink and pigment, to more subdued, slow, seeping auras which tinge the white spaces around each impressed form with a subtle and ghostly presence. Rhythmic successions which dance and curl and sweep, with colours peeking and emerging from beneath deep, intense applications of printing ink, trapping each moment within the paper by the sheer pressure of the press, thus, debossing each surface.
