For some time I have been working on printmaking using mixed techniques. This includes relief printing with digital as well as pochoir, spray and hand colouring. Printmaking can be an experimental medium as well as a powerful means of expression. A great deal has been written about the horrors of giclée printing but I feel that, like all other processes, it has its place provided that it is used honestly and is not a means to dupe people into buying copies that do not even aspire to originality.
