I posted a couple of my black and white lino prints on
12th August and now I have silkscreened coloured shapes over the top to lift the print from the paper and add interest to the composition. Colour is new territory for me as I spent most of my MA and residency working with tones of grey and off-whites. I was so seduced by mark-making and composition that adding colour became an added complication; a distraction away from the subtleties and qualities of a mark and it's edges. However, the boldness and crisp black marks of the lino prints shouted for colour.
