INKERS - contemporary printmakers

2005

Cath Brooke

Rural and Urban Landscapes provide the starting point for my prints. I sketch in all weathers and the elements play a large part in defining the spirit of my work. I like to include buildings in my work, to give a sense of history and place, a human connection to the landscape and spaces around us. I am also interested in composition and creating a balance between what I have seen and sketched and the natural rhythms of lines and tones across the printed surface. The original image my change as the process of print-making takes over and my concerns turn to mark making, balance, composition, mood and movement within each print.
