This is the first edition. I made 20 yesterday. HOwever I feel this plate can be pushed to a whole new level. So I will be working on this plate and re-uploading it in a week or two. I love this new series of plates I am doing in the print room. I love exploring the image in a drawing, then a print and perhaps next year a painting. I love doing my girls in landscapes…..I hope you like this….it pairs up with the “Dreaming of LIfe” etching. I hope to have a show next year so I am working hard on these prints. UPDATED WITH EDITION 3 on 6/8/08 / VIEWS 493 TO DATE 21/11/09 This print is inked up with different coloured inks and then rubbed back carefully to get the different effects of colour.

4 steel plate etching and aquatint on Stonehenge paper and recycled survey plan. / 36×36 cm / 2009 A work inspired by a recent visit to the small ex-Hydro town of Waddamana in the central highlands of Tasmania.

2009 / 25×100 cm / etching, aquatint & linocut on Stonehenge, BFK Rives & Somerset papers with chine colle / variant edition of 3 This work is inspired by convict artist, William Gould’s Sketchbook of Fishes in Macquarie Harbour (c. 1832). Gould was transported to Van Dieman’s Land in 1827 for stealing. His original works were done in watercolours whilst serving a sentence at Macquarie Harbour on Tasmania’s rugged west coast. I decided to pay homage to Gould whilst reading Richard Flanagan’s fictional account of Gould’s life in his novel Gould’s Book of Fish, during my recent residency at the Frans Masereel Centre in Belgium. I feel there is a sense of conclusion in Gould being transported to the “New World” and creating his works, while I was “transported” back to the “Old World” where I made reproductions of his works. The observant viewer may notice hints of architectural reflections in the water segments of my prints, which are typical of the type of warehouses that line the canals of Holland and Belgium. These convey a sense of feeling like a “fish out of water”, something I experienced whilst undertaking my residency and which I imagine Gould must have felt in his strange new world.
