Inking Plate for Monoprint. Photo by Dave Usher.
These works are, or start from, monoprints of oil-based ink on paper. An image is built up on the printing plate in rollered sections, brush strokes and splatters of ink. Tools and soft cloths are then used to scrape through or soften these soft films of ink, revealing previous levels of mark making. The completed plate and damp paper are passed together through the press, transferring the image.
Print pieces can be bought in three ways:
-A small number of the original monoprints are available for sale. Please see the 'Small Original' section of this website. Prices start at £350 for a small, mounted original print. Please email htounsend@aol.com to buy one.
-Prints that have been reproduced in very limited edition, high quality, giclee print runs of 60. They are sold mounted or framed and can be bought through the 'Shop' section of this website and through selected galleries.
-Monoprint work is used as the starting point for the huge Statement Print-Paintings which are overworked in watercolour, pastel and charcoal. Only a small number of these pieces exist and they are mainly made to commission. See the 'Statement Print-Painting' section of this website for more details.
