These colour woodcuts were developed from small collage studies I did in the 1970’s. The reductive woodcut process allows me to reconsider the interaction between shape and colour in the original compositions. These are not reproductions but rather explorations seeking new meanings in a different time and place. The series references maps, diagrams and billboard remnants: fragments that might represent imagined space.
