A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
I was beginning to feel I was going through the motions – days of printing so far had resulted in stiff and formal plans of the allotment, but I didn't really feel that anything was "happening". Perservering, I made up a stencil of "footprints" and printed up a muddy trail around the allotment plan, negotiating the carefully marked out plots.
Then, as I always do, I tried printing them on to a piece of blank paper, moving the paper in & out of registration, printing & over-printing & watching as my print appeared. The new print seems to move the work on beyond the allotment itself and link to the broader themes within my work, considering invisible, implied or understood boundaries, territory, paths and passages.
