I’m a printmaker based in North-East Derbyshire who is interested in traditional methods using a hands-on, “analogue” approach. I designed and built one of my presses myself out of scrap metal, and also use smaller presses made from repurposed Victorian mangles along with a standard etching press. I use traditional techniques, creating printing plates from perspex, engineering plastic and copper.
My images are inspired by Derbyshire’s landscapes, and attempt to capture the ever-changing lights and moods not only of the Peak District, but also the county’s hidden corners and post-industrial sites.
