Original artwork description:

This monoprint study is loosely based on an image I saw of Kylie Minogue. I created several sketches before transforming into a print.

During this time I was experimenting and playing with monoprints, originally drawing the images on paper as a sketch then redrawing onto printing paper via blue printing ink on a metal plate.
This allowed the image to be transferred, simplifying into a more illustrative form in its rendering, observing the flattening of space, investigating the way old Japanese woodcut prints flattened space. The drawing has been produced on handmade textured paper.
