Monotype
Monotype is a compelling medium for its distinctive range of textures
and subtlety of effects. Unique impressions, monotypes have been
hand-printed from Plexiglas plates using a roller press, oil-based
printing inks and archival papers. Many of my recent works, particularly
from the Havana series, incorporate various elements that include
linocut, woodcut, collage, pastel and metal prints. They are all
hand-printed in my studio in Strathcona, Vancouver.
Due to the nature of the monotype process, the original image
is destroyed in the process of transferring it through the press
to the paper. Therefore, no monotype can be exactly duplicated.
