ARTIST STATEMENT:
This artwork is an intaglio print created using a recycled tetra pack. After making, inking and printing the tetra plate and allowing to dry, I then worked back into the image with a wash of watercolour, and coloured pencils. This allowed me to capture the colours, depth of textures and light play that I wanted in the piece. I love an ordinary life scene, which is what I hoped to capture. Laundry on the line, snapping in the wind becomes far less ordinary and rarer as time goes on, but for those of us to which it is familiar, the sounds, smells, views and methodical rhythm of the chore can linger in our minds like sweet nostalgia.
