An Almost Invisible Wound is body of work about the fragility of the human body and the delicate process of healing and metamorphosis that takes place after critical illness. It arises from my interest in creating installations, backdrops, altered atmospheres through printmaking that are assembled, performative, and have emerged through process.

Deeply personal, these artworks are fragile and vulnerable like the body, printed on transparent and semi-opaque materials using a Rochat etching press. Some of the pieces are linear; the viewer walks along the length of the work sensing its heart murmurs, blood flow, wounds, breath and frailty. The work is hybrid and handbuilt and the largest of the pieces (3 metres) was shown at The Anxiety of Disciplinarity an exhibition conceived as part of UWE’s international printmaking conference IMPACT 12 in 2022.
