DAY 28 Friday 28 September
The gradual process of ending my residency begun today; I felt I wanted to record the space before it is dismantled.
I stopped making prints a few years ago, but have re-engaged with the process during this residency. I enjoy the rapid, surprise and uncontrolled aspect of mono-prints.
The Crimson Mothers and Naiads have both developed from my engagement with this Place: Chelva.
My sister sent me a photo of an Ancient Greek torso; it has concluded my investigations into the Kermes scale-insects and the manufacturing of Crimson dye....
Print based on a statue of an Ancient Greek female torso: crimson, limbless and immobile.
