Clay Monotype, my current Printmaking process, uses liquid clay slip mixed with pure pigments, as the ink. The slip is applied to a leather hard clay slab using various techniques, hand transferred to a non-woven fabric substrate and framed. After many years as a professional Potter, clayprinting has offered me a fresh approach to the fine art challenges of composition and style.
My abstract expressions come from intuitive and unconscious imagery. Reference from previous artwork and current experiences, mingle in surprising ways.
In all this time, I remain humble to the realization that art is about the process of creation more than it is about the finished product.
