In addition to drawing and painting Peter Drake creates short videos of his quick-draw portraits of popular personalities. His technique involves drawing with his left hand while videoing with his mobile phone using his right hand. |
 | Maureen Morris Printmaker and poet. "I like working with relief prints because I can print by hand and don't have to use a press - though I do use one sometimes! I enjoy wood and letting the tools release the image - in the big cacti piece it was fun to involve the grain and the knots in the plank.I often work directly onto the material, even when I'm making wood engravings - it keeps the image spontaneous. The big cacti piece takes about half an hour to ink up and it can take another hour to bring the image through using a baren - it's a very meditative process. I'm fascinated by cacti plants and have done the very small wood engraving of a group of cacti too , which was in the 1st turnaround." Magnolia Candles |
