Printed to bleed edge of paper with innovative approaches to the Japanese woodblock printing process of mokuhanga:
hand printing with a baren; using varnish resist and a squeegee to drag the colour across
the wood, exaggerating the grain; cutting the surface, and printing intaglio and relief from
the block. The push and pull of surface, pigment and paper create rich visual dialogues.
The foundation of his practice is the experience of landscape, cityscape and nature, often
encountered on epic walks and journeys, where he is exposed to the physical demands of
endurance and long periods of contemplation.
