Pond Monotypes 

Working from my videos taken below the surface of the pond, I made a series of abstract monotype prints. With monotypes, each print is unique, produced by painting and inking directly onto a plate, and pressing the paper onto it. Each time you press the paper it uses all the paint or ink and so you have to start again with a new image for the next print. What I found was that each image led on to the next, so that the series became like a timeline of film stills from the pond.
