Most of my time as an artist is spent making sculptures & installations www.julia-barton.co.uk on the streets, in theatres, parks and gardens, so its wonderful to take time to play in the studio on a smaller scale. Having always loved mono-printing from objects and pressed flowers I invested in a roller press to enable me to make relief prints.
The results I am now achieving a year later are so exciting.
Fascinated by line and texture I began by printing a series of wire drawings, gradually understanding the pressure required for different thicknesses of materials the effects achieved are beautifully embossed. Take a look
Texture and surface detail are an essential element of my work which I am now translating into print. The results of which I am compiling into sample books.
Delicious! particularly like the look of the scarlet ivies.
