Carter Its A Colourful Life etching

It's a Colourful Life (2022)

Printed using one etching plate with horizontal lines, putting it through the press thirty two times, to create analogies & abstractions between

the print & one’s lived experience. This print references the technique of cross hatching, traditionally used in the etching process to create light & dark, form & texture.

How do I un-see it.
Deal with it.

Would You Like A Cuppa? (2007)

Inspired by a text conversation I had with a friend, which went....

Just put the kettle on, would you like a cuppa?

Would love one. I've just run aground on a sunken German battleship.

 

The text was photo etched on 2 plates, the drawing on another.
