"Spontaneous, expressive gestures solidify as graphic marks and, as the paper continues to go through the press, often fifty or sixty times, adjusting and adding layers, a distinct surface accumulates.The litho inks, transparent in themselves, sediment and build into a distinct patinated surface which presents us with more than just an image. We are given the accumulated results of improvised marks, happy accidents, mis-registrations; the image embedded in the outcome of a painterly, energetic and physical process.
The surfaces become dense and woven. They feel like tapestry. In fact tapestry might be a good way of thinking about the work. Design, colour and expression are all there, but are sublimated to the overall warp and weft of the surface, the woven threads of the tapestry turning gesture into graphic mark, at the same time as unifying the surface. We see the weave and we see the image, both present, neither more significant than the other". Simon Carter, Artist and Curator May 2024
