Artist’s prints can be wonderful works of art, testaments to ideas, which could not exist in quite the same way in any other form. They possess qualities which no other work of art can hold. A printed surface is unlike a painted surface. The touch or press of ink onto hand made paper can be so beautiful. For an artist, the process, basically one of indirect mark making, provides avenues for creative experience and experiments which might never otherwise be explored. The practice of working in collaboration with a master printmaker is an entirely different discipline to working alone in a studio. Prints are conceived in a unique way – it is almost like a sort of alchemy.
