Sand Hills and I've Been Thinking

Sand Hills

Technique: Photo intaglio, photogravure, and intaglio printmaking on Somerset paper with chine-collé
Size: 70 × 100 cm
Price: €650

Sand Hills is a large-scale abstract intaglio etchings inspired by mountains, shifting landscapes, and the quiet atmosphere of nature. Rich in texture, colour, and tonal variation, the works are designed to bring a sense of calmness and stillness to a space.

Created through a combination of photo intaglio, photogravure, and traditional etching techniques, the layered surfaces echo the contours and movement of sand hills and distant horizons. Soft transitions between light and dark, combined with subtle variations in colour, create an abstract landscape that feels both familiar and dreamlike.

Each print is hand printed, making every piece unique. Variations in colour and tone are intentional and form part of the individuality of each work within the series.

Ive' Been Thinking

Technique: Photo etching, drypoint, and chine-collé
Paper: Fabriano Rosaspina Ivory and Japanese Gampi paper
Size: 65 × 100 cm
Price: €845 (frame included)

I've Been Thinking is a large-scale abstract print that combines photography with traditional etching techniques. The work was created using six separate metal plates, each individually drawn, etched, and printed by hand. By layering the plates over one another through multiple print runs, the composition gradually built up in depth, texture, and complexity.

The translucent imagery was printed onto delicate Japanese Gampi paper using chine-collé, then layered into the final work. This fine, semi-transparent paper allows different marks and photographic elements to shift in and out of focus, creating a sense of memory, thought, and overlapping experiences.

The layered structure of the piece reflects the inner workings of the mind and memory, particularly through the experience of visual memory. Fragments of imagery appear and disappear beneath the surface, suggesting the way thoughts build, fade, and return over time. The result is a work that feels intimate, contemplative, and quietly complex.
