Mirham
My print practice is playfully developed from journal keeping: the printmaking craft adds the opportunity for rhythmic mark making. I carve prints onto Lino and often use reduction printmaking - a technique of carving back into the same Lino plate to print the subsequent layer.
Portraiture (water mix oil on board) forms a second strand to my practice- though directional marks tie the two interests together. These paintings look for a balance between expressive marks and more controlled structure, creating a feeling of areas in and out of focus.
