Notes

All the prints in this portfolio, especially the London ones, are part of a body of work done when I returned to Perth. Mainly paintings but also drawings they supported the prints in the exhibition I had at Gallery 52 in the following year. No print in the folio is a copy of a drawing. The printmaking process was actually used as a drawing or image making process rather than a merely reproductive technology.
