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.
