MSG
With a wide artist toolbox at my disposal the journey starts in nature by taking inspiration from my landscape pastel paintings, plein air. I then take my work inside to hand draw a digital representation to make reproducible, which then carefully is dissected and layered as a finalscreen-print with ink in the studio. I enjoy the journey of how an ancient process of a delicate rubbed pastel stroke on paper guides the digital paint brush on a computer, which precisely informs the spaces to smear the final image with the old screen print technology.
I explore how unremarkable objects in a landscape can be unearthed and emphasised in a simple way, elevating importance and in turn the whole meaning of the work, making the unseen, seen. The output is a playful perspective, underpinned with a layer of study of how the earth’s rotation, climate, seasons, and the solitude of no humans affect a place and alters what we think and feel.
As an artist, designer and printmaker I create three filters, three works, three ways to see. This process makes 'MSG'.
