I will be one the Creatives on site during the Creative Harvest Festival of edible gardens. With my little etching press I will be demonstrating 'nature printing' onto paper. I directly use botanical samples to create impressions of the plant, great detail can be achieved with ink and paper. Some of the plants I will be working with are from my host Adele's garden. Called 'Darna' this wonderful two and half acre garden is located at Darnum, in West Gippsland. I will have many prints, greeting cards and other gift items on display and for sale.
Excerpt from an article published in 2006 in Imprint magazine, vol. 41, No. 4, p12, Print Council of Australia. The article describes the Site, Surface and Memory Project funded by Arts Victoria. The resulting exhibition Domestic Collections was presented at Gallery arc in 2007 and Brunswick Street Gallery, Fitzroy in 2008.
