Camberwell has a well-established tradition of printmaking as a specialist activity and is renowned for its excellence in its delivery. The diversity and interdisciplinary nature of media available within contemporary printmaking, driven by continuing rapid technological developments, invites new dialogues with the reflective practitioner and poses particular questions for the artist interested in exploring their ideas through the issues and potential of print.
Printmaking is committed to the development of the creative practitioner within a broad definition of the subject that is essentially open to challenge and individual interpretation. The programmes of study are designed to place the practice of printmaking in both a contemporary critical context and in a wide historical perspective. The acquisition and development of technical skills, critical thinking, contextual and professional knowledge are seen as interdependent elements and students are encouraged to investigate and reconsider assumptions underlying the applications of autographic processes and new technologies.

My practice reflects of my fascination with mythology, both archaic and contemporary. My focus is the Icarus/Daedalus relationship, combined with an intense interest in falling, flying, and floating. Deriving imagery from sportsmen, I use the notion that their movements are overtly expressive, demonstrating emotions usually submerged off the playing field.

"Writing has become a visual language and is no longer merely used to convey the idea of a piece and there will always exist material and intellectual power between the form of language and who controls it."

In my work I explore the world in which I exist through my own identity. Media Representation and associative meaning play a major role in the making of the work as do formal presentation and nostalgia. In the exploration of the revolving world immediately around me, I confront issues such as Escapism, Culture, Religion and Conflict through both individual and collective identity.

Space
The subject of my work is 'space', or I should rather say lack of it. While living in London I experienced that people around me and myself are struggling with finding their private, intimate space. We live in a constant rush surrounded by strangers, finding a minute for yourself, or a peaceful space is almost impossible. On the streets in the shops in the tube we are 'thrown' in to crowds of random people... I started to express my feelings through my linocuts, I chose this medium because of its fleshiness, because of its flexibility and sculptural quality, my figures are in a state of despair trying to escape confined spaces. I tried to express the struggle that's created by lack of intimacy combined with vulnerability and exposure of those bodies.

Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well.
