Callala Beach by Jennifer Baird

Artist Statement

‘I have only done a few landscape works on paper, I can probably count them on one hand. I am so pleased with this screenprint, ink and chalkpastel. The actual screenprint is a tiny part of the work. I’m letting the ink do it’s thing… maybe letting go of the mark making..after years of whipping a paintbrush full of gouache around a piece of unsuspecting paper.’
