Print Isn't Dead
For my dissertation project, I asked the question what would be lost if traditional printmaking practices went extinct? I explored this question using practice led research and experimented with lots of different printing techniques and seeing what I learnt from making.
I explored woodcut, letterpress, etching and papercut monoprinting to create a series of dinosaur based prints!
I found that the beauty of printmaking lies in its unpredictable nature, you're never quite sure what you'll get until you take the paper off the press.
