• How can methods of on-site printmaking be developed to provide new ways of visualising landscape in order to capture its sensory and atmospheric qualities

My recent creative practice has been concerned with responding to landscape using forms of hand-made printmaking.

Building on this broad interest I wish to focus this practice-based research project on developing innovative methods of on-site mono-printing* in direct response to the experience of being ‘in’ the ever-changing landscape environment of Stora Sjofallet National Park, Sweden.  This location will provide the ideal terrain, weather and logistical conditions to enable the development of new approaches to the visualisation of immersive landscape experience.

*a mono-print is a one-off image made typically by transferring ink from a smooth surface onto a sheet of paper.
