Monoprints are unique original artworks, as no two are identical though they may share themes. Each one is an VE or variable edition made with varying combinations of colour, form and composition. There are many different ways of monoprinting, but my process typically uses stencils, chine collé and collage.

The stencils are taken from photographs of ice patterns, commonly known as cat-ice or shell-ice collected in the early mornings during the past few winters 2021 to current day.

I find the ice patterns formed overnight spectacular and magical. Each pattern has a short lifespan usually melting by noon and I feel privileged to have witnessed them and to be able to record a unique moment in time.
