Waterwalls

Walls may have ears, but as depositories of accumulated human myth and history, walls recount experience of what has been seen and what has been heard. Recorded in the reservoirs of water-stained, watermarked stone, brick and plaster; layers of scratched, etched, spray-painted and daubed graffiti express identity and narrate the fears and desires of a populace intent on making their mark. Lithography, drawing with watery reticulating tusche wash, dripping and spreading across the surface of the stone thus felt like the appropriate medium for exploring these ideas.

These images share multiple plates and stones that have been swapped, substituted and in some cases, repeated. Printed on to different types of papers - the resulting prints make up variable editions and are essentially unique.
