  ' The Sound of 3 a.m, Ochre,Blue'- Linocut on Fabriano paper - 2020          I did not do any printing during my Fine Art degree, well I did but only a morning. I decided at the time that it was not for me as there was lots of cleaning up involved, something I am not naturally drawn to. I took it up earlier in the year and although I have got used to the cleaning up element of it there are parts of the process that I still resist. Hats off to people who can do print runs of 50 but I just cannot do it and get bored after about 2 and the only thing I would learn about doing large editions is that I am not good with craft based boredom. And so variations are what I do, not a better method but one that suits me. 'The Sound of 3 a.m, variation 1' - Linocut on Fabriano paper - 2020         These works, ' The Sound of 3 a.m', is based on an ink drawing I did earlier on in the year. A freehand drawing, it's meandering, speculative and sea...
