Monoprints of original drawings Sometimes, triggered by an impulse or a detail on an emerging work, I get overwhelmed with an urge to go back to my old paintings or sketches – there must be some kind of a continuity of thought, a thread linking past and present despite the evolution of the artistic style or […]
