Katie Preston | Wimbledon Common, After Monotype I
£300.00
Screenprint Edition of 10 Dimensions (WxH): 33 x 42cm
Katie Preston is a printmaker whose practice explores the transformation of photographs through layered printmaking processes. Working from images of fleeting or incidental moments, she investigates how photographic images can be reduced, translated and reassembled.
She uses a combination of digital and analogue processes to break down the image and build it back up. Each stage involves balancing the retention of enough information for a place to be recognised while removing enough to invite closer attention.
Preston's recent series begins with a photograph that is first translated into monotype. She then breaks down that printed image and reconstructs it through layered screenprinting, introducing colour, texture and transparency. She intersperses these with screenprinted layers derived from the original photograph before adding hand-drawn pencil marks.
Rather than presenting a complete description, her prints invite viewers to enter another world adjacent to the photograph, where memory and feeling take precedence over reproduction.
