These images require a little more explaining, because they're drypoint prints.
So basically I carved the images into sheets of perspex (using a craft knife and other sharp, painful things), rubbed ink into the carved lines, slapped a bit o paper on top and heaved it through a roller press...
Many emotional days in the print room resulted in some good, bad and messy versions but eventually I cracked it and got some (near) perfect ones! Not easy, let me tell you- Ink. Gets. Everywhere. I almost cried every time i noticed a bloody mucky fingerprint ruining yet another attempt...
Dark times.
All these prints are slightly smaller than A4
