The Joy of the Gradient in its Printed and Natural Forms

Abstract

‘The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead —his eyes are closed.’ Albert Einstein, 1931

I have long been fascinated by the relationship between colour gradients and nature and their place within
it, especially when thinking about natural phenomena. This has formed the core of my practice as an artist and printmaker, which I have dedicated mainly to printing gradients, not only on paper but also on other substrates, to create sculptures or light installations.
