I am a printmaker working in etching and linocut. Printmaking uses processes that have been tried and tested for centuries, but these traditions can be combined with new techniques such as photopolymer etching in exciting ways. Printing produces inherently one-off pieces and the process allows you to tweak and amend, so that printing can give unexpected results and each print is unique. I love how the process is both technical and precise and hands-on and messy - but don't love having permanently inky hands!
My favourite pieces at the moment are my linocuts of a boat at sea and a lighthouse - I like to picture them hanging on a child's bedroom wall, while a child dreams of the places they will go and adventures they will have.
I find inspiration in the natural world, and wandering happily around London's galleries.
Alice will be at Homeworks on 1st December
