The Back Pages was an idea that followed on from a series of etchings inspired by ‘Theatre of the Absurd’, pantomime and other forms of fantasy drama. This cast of characters is captured in a moment of absurdity, of contemplation and unspoken intent, which viewers must determine for themselves.

Drypoint Edition of 40 Image size: 76 x 56 cm Paper size: 76 x 56 cm PCA Print Commission 2004 Astronomer is part of a series I have been working on for the past seven years in which I appropriated five figures from an etching (after Arago the artist) printed in 1825 by the French printer Duparc. I reconstruct parts of all these figures in different configurations to create new meanings from the original.

Woodcut Edition of 40 Image size: 56 x 76 cm Paper size: 56 x 76 cm PCA Print Commission 2004 The image Forest Debris-Cotter River and much of my recent work employs a fine woodcutting technique, which has grown out of research into the traditions and techniques of nineteenth century woodcutting, engraving and etching. I use horizontal and linear cutting to create a rhythmic density which is further enhanced by the grain of the woodblock itself. The technique allows the images to emulate a sense of cutting into and through a slice of the landscape.

Two colour lithographic offset print, hand-coloured with pencil Edition of 40 Image size: 68 x 48 cm Paper size: 76 x 56 cm PCA Print Commission 2004 Gracia Haby and Louise Jennison have worked collaboratively for the past five years, using paper as their primary medium. From a series of limited edition artists' books through to works on and with paper, their intimate art pieces record, deconstruct ad respond to experiences in various countries and varying circumstances. A lament to the sleeping Kingfisher creates a whimsical landscape of ambiguous narrative, drawing from a history of imaginary voyages.

Two block colour linocut Edition of 40 Image size: 76 x 56 cm Paper size: 76 x 56 cm PCA Print Commission 2004 Although contained within the size of the sheet, the garden in this image moves beyond the sheet of paper, both in the cutting and in the strange beacon of light which plunges into the garden from the outside or leading from the garden to the beyond. At least on one level it can be interpreted as a passage of life or the passage of a life.

Etched blind embossing, archival digital print Edition of 40 Image size: variable Paper size: 56 x 38 cm PCA Print Commission 2004 This work was inspired by the increasing absence of wild native birds from our cities. Small embossed portraits of a selection of lost bird species are combined with a bird's eye view of the city, looking from the city centre to the outskirts and vice versa. Silent songs are reversed out of this panorama.

Etching and aquatint Edition of Image size: 30 x 39 cm Paper size: 56 x 76 cm PCA Print Commission 2013 Shadow Play began life as a piece of theatre. I stand somewhere between being its director, screenwriter, set designer and stage manager but the plot remains a mystery. Characters were drawn individually, redrawn, cut out, assembled as a collage and drawn from the collage onto the plate. Creating an etching from the drawings lends the image a magic that no other medium can.
