I plan to produce a series of printmaking work, creating a stronger portfolio of art prints with the plan for future exhibition. This would mainly be in linocut, papercut and screen-printing. I hope to build on the style I have developed in recent years as a illustrator and printmaker of designs for prints, stationery and paper goods.

My aim would be to create detailed hand carved prints, larger format works for both on paper and textile, with the initial theme of nature and celestial imagery. Colour and style is influenced by mid century modern design but I enjoy experimenting and hope that access to a broader range of equipment would support this.

The structure of this opportunity will help greatly with the development of my work, as often constraints have been due to deadlines for clients so it would be a welcome chance to focus on the creation of new work and dedicate time to diversifying my practice whilst engaging with fellow residents and students.
