Each of these hand-printed landscapes are created using a combination of three separate inks: white, silver and black. The discrete nature of their constituent elements has been emphasised by applying white ink only as dots, and black ink only as line-work. Despite this tangible segregation, the end result relies on the conjunction of all elements – including the viewer – in order to deliver a legible image.
“The beauty of the Earth is a bell of mindfulness. If you can’t see it, you must ask yourself why”.
