Brambles
Monoprint and flag book
I started by making a series of prints based on studies of the bramble hedge at the allotment.
These combine monoprint with drypoint.

I wanted to make something out of the prints but I didn’t want to cut them up just yet. So I scanned the one of the 4 layered prints and used it to make double sided digital prints for a flag book. I wanted to give the impression of the vigorous prickly shoots that the bramble bushes give out. I was struggling for words so I used a section of a Seamus Heaney poem on one facing page and my recipe for bramble gin on the other. |
