String lino printing on a digital print
The plan is to print on top of a digital print to create a hybrid surface that has links to my current work called the grid series.
To create the lino plate I used the string technique that I developed in my recent paintings. I used a water based paint to string print the lino, then over a period of 3 days carefully cut out the marks left by the print.
Once the string print was dry I cut away the marks made. After a number of different attempts to find a printing ink that has an even finish and sticks to a digital print I have found an oil based lino printing ink. In the Netherlands, I found Peter van Ginkel own brand Hoogdrukinkt which is linseed based with a drying agent and it is partially washable.I will need to see whether the print fully dries and remains attached to the digital print. 
The print has the potential to be used in different directions to create a layered string image. I would also like to print on to digital canvas prints, that’s next on my list!

Sold from my Wall series. Very pleased to see this piece sold, it started life on Stoke Newington High street, East London as a worn out billboard and has been given another chance to connect with it’s new surroundings, somewhere new and far from home. The piece is a digital print, edited in Photoshop and sewn onto a stretched canvas with mending yarn.
- Digitally manipulated image with mending yarn stitch and acrylic
- Nine canvas – Grid Series.
