DDC classification: CIT Art Collection Online resources: ARTWORK Summary: "For the Artist, the actual process of making marks
onto the block is mirrored in the chosen subject
matter. Although the marks the Artist makes are
permanent, the acts they are depicting are rapidly
disappearing from our vision. However, these acts
carried out by the farmer, are now a vanishing sight,
the Irish family is disappearing, and with it are all its
traditions and processes, gone from the memory of
the landscape and the viewer. Except for the fading
marks they leave on the landscape. It is a vanishing
way of life, captured and recorded through the
medium of relief printmaking.
By using the process of relief printmaking, especially
the nature of lino printing. Where the Artist is required
to draw, and then carve away the lino, in order to
create the desired image. The physical act of carving
the marks onto the block, in the Asian style; where
only the the defined lines of the image are left, is as
the Artist feels mirrored in how Agriculture marks
the landscape. As the Artist carves a line, the farmer
mirrors this mark, by carrying out their daily work" - (Artist's statement).
