Unmapped Marks
I made these etchings without a fixed concept or a pre-plan. They began as drawings while responding to the accumulation of something I read, saw, or thought about and then filtered through fragmented internal dialogue and shaped by playful engagement with materials.
The process itself was central to their own development and creation. Each plate has several layers of work. As I engaged with each process, the image revealed when I ran the zinc plate through the press and showed me the next step. The surprises, frustrations or shifts that occurred led the work and became part of it. What emerged feels closer to instinctive mapping than a pre-planned script.
Each etching holds traces of internal and material dialogue, often fragmented or unresolved.
This work is not about offering answers or responding to a specific script, it is a portrayal of a journey. Each print is part of a wider abstract narrative that remains deliberately open.
