Aurora scrolls
Made on Zerkal paper with water based inks 100cm x 45 cm. These have been made using recordings in central France in the Limousin region in a small mixed woodland. I recorded in early spring before sunrise and just after sunrise once all the birds had started singing. I was interested in the notion of silence and singing , the moment when there was a transformation of place. I used the sonogram program to visualise these and overlaid them to form 2 lines across the print, a kind of script. Each print is unique using ink stained paper to allow seepage of the colour over the edge of the prints.

etchings on copper printed on Zerkall and Arches papers of various dimensions. These were recordings taken in late summer of Golden Orioles I used water based inks and dragged them outside of the print edge , ideas of echos and repeats in each print each time are slightly different. These interventions create each time a unique print with the same vocabulary.
