Prints and Practice Back in Inverness and back through the doors of Highland Print Studio. This time I had some slightly longer sessions booked, which allowed me time to really focus on developing and proofing some larger prepared acetates. This work sits alongside, but separate from, the artist’s book I am currently developing in collaborationContinue reading “A Tapestry of Connection Phase II”

A Tapestry of Connection Phase II
Thirty-Six Prints and a Cuckoo’s Call The concertina book pages are finally complete. I produced an edition of six images which will fit across six pages—thirty-six prints in total. Each one is a photopolymer print, built up in two or more colours.

A Tapestry of Connection Phase II
From Printmaking Meltdown, Studio Magic, and a Slice of Cake I set off from my home in North Uist on Tuesday morning (7th April) after what has been feeling like a never-ending winter—wind, rain, and general greyness—and somehow travelled into… actual sunshine ☀️ 18 degrees, blue skies, and a ferry crossing that felt like aContinue reading “A Tapestry of Connection Phase II”

If the session moves in a slightly different direction thanContinue reading “A Tapestry of Connection Phase II”

The work explored human interaction within the landscape,Continue reading “A Tapestry of Connection Phase II”
A Tapestry of Connection
This project has been an absolutely fantastic learning opportunity for me, and as I write this, I realise it’s the final blog post in this series. It has truly opened up so many new avenues. While not all prints I made achieved the desired outcome, the process itself was a profound learning experience. I pushedContinue reading “A Tapestry of Connection”
A Tapestry of Connection
Welcome to my blog! Today, April 28, 2025, I started my project by walking a mile that I will be observing. I recorded an audio piece in an Open Country style to share my experience during the walk. As I begin on my journey along a mile long section of the Hebridean Way, I amContinue reading “A Tapestry of Connection”
