I have spent the last few weeks printing my linos, working out templates on the press so that all plates are positioned in exactly the same place on the paper, with the same borders from one image to the next. I have been making my own frames so that the prints hang surrounded by a stained black frame but are not under glass. I have designed a system so that the prints drape over a steel bar, which is held in place by extremely strong magnets at the back of the frame, rather like a Japanese scroll painting.
For the Degree Show (on June 13th 2013) my prints have been selected to hang in the main foyer, and I am exhibiting six prints, as three pairs:
 |
| Pairs of prints ready to hang. Marking up the press has enabled images and borders to be aligned. |

| In position |
 |
| The Ground Floor Foyer |
 |
| On route to the lifts and stairs |
Making the frames:

| Gluing the backing board to the frame |
I have titled the prints:
A Linoleum Wilderness
A Sea of Acid
Splintering Wood
A Jetty of Lino
Rivers of Bitumen
Flock
