Over the past 18 months I have been working on a series of silkscreen prints focussing on the buildings of Bristol. What started as an obvious choice of theme (the coloured terraces helped me to fall in love with Bristol after leaving Brighton in 1995) is gradually turning into an obsession! Everywhere I go in Bristol I find myself imagining how I could turn each view or vista into a print.
For my prints of the coloured terraces, areas of colour are mono-printed so that in each edition, no two prints are exactly alike; the colours blend as the print run progresses. I love the fact that screen-printing provides me with the choice of representing house colours as they are, or repainting whole swathes of Bristol by remixing my inks.
The Bristol AtoZ is filled with prints waiting to happen ...
