BOTANICAL STILL LIFE: by Louise Almon

 

2024

Almon developed her technique of multi-layered monotypes over many years. It is a technique of applying oil-based ink onto a large surface of glass and lifting off the colour, layer by layer, allowing the colour to dry between each lift-off. Once a number of colour layers have been created, black ink is rolled onto the glass before paper is laid face down on the black ink. At this point, Almon draws the conceptualised image, which appears on the back of the paper. When the paper is lifted off, the image appears in reverse, creating works that are completely unique and impossible to reprint.
