One of my cloud paintings hangs at the entrance to the iconic fiftyfivecurbsidecafé which will sadly close at the end of July. I enjoyed countless cups of coffee there and often indulged in their freshly baked croissants over the past few years. This coffee shop will be missed sorely and I hope that the new tenant will be as creative as Johnny Hamman and his friendly staff.

These collages grew from cyanotype prints of bare branches layered with fragments of paper, cloth, paint and stitch.

Similar collage artworks are for sale at die.kollektif in Wellington.

Sunday Vibes. A layered cyanotype which was soaked in a bicarbonate solution - didn’t quite give the look I was hoping for but it’s growing on me.

It’s all coming together after weeks of taking pictures, making cyanotypes, Lino printing, Gelli-printing, cutting, gluing and stitching. So many steps to create a series of works depicting my love of trees. 🌳
