I've taken a hammer to my ceramic and glass tiles, cracking and smashing them to then roll them up in bitumen black and transfer to lino as before. The intention is to match the print making process to my concept of decay and collapse in the built environment, and make further use of those materials. I'm in the process of making more lino tiles also continuing with frottage, and general marks left by wear and tear and human usage in buildings.

I'm preparing two-plated prints, this time using a roll of paper 3 metres long. My plain coloured underlayer is going to be lacquered mount board (3 coats) - cheaper than lino.
