A new venture with fellow printmaker Peter rapp. We wanted to work together on some large images and here are our first proofs of two woodcuts both 6ft x 2ft.

I am working on a pair of images for the Freud Museum show next year. I want the work to reference a 'mother' and 'father' relationship. I am using found images for the male and female characters, and found zinc plates to introduce an element of random mark making into the images.

Unremembered Dream

2010-05-24T11:25:00.000-07:00

Working hard at the studio on some BIG prints (well, big for me anyway). Have to do some A1 or A0 pieces for a show in Italy. Here is a work in progress – Unremembered Dream (93cm x63cm) – a reworking of an older image. I am virtually mono-printing these days, the versatility of the lino is too tempting. I am rubbing off ink, and using cloth to give me textures, so each print is unique.

Two block linoprint, one etched, one cut... I am fascinated by how the two techniques play together... 51 x 35cm

2010-01-05T11:24:00.000-08:00

Silver Suit

2009-05-21T02:33:00.000-07:00

Here is a new image I am working on. It's a one plate etching printed in silver on black paper. I'm thinking of adding another plate to model and alter the tones on this one... 30 x 24cm

2009-04-12T02:14:00.000-07:00

Final six prints for the Looking for Nothing box. The prints were housed in a custom built box which looked great. But two things: my original idea for the images and text was to be a book and that is something I want to develop; and the use of computer generated text on paper which was chine colléd onto the prints didn't work that well... back to the drawing board.

2009-04-12T02:06:00.000-07:00

Here is the final version of Skin for the Bristol box. He has a better face than the first version, and the text works better with the image.

2009-03-13T11:05:00.000-07:00

And here's the second print in the box for Bristol. I think I might call the box Looking for Nothing. This is actually a print scanned in with text added in photoshop to see where and how it should look...

Beached

2009-03-12T09:59:00.000-07:00

I've just finished the first of (hopefully) six prints to go towards making a box set for a bookfair in Bristol. The theme of the set will be a common interest of mine — masculinity and gayness. It is a new departure for me to collide text and image together.

Flex

This is my latest print. It will be part of ELP's BOX09 set of prints. You can view the 07 and 08 Box sets on the ELP website. Just follow the link on the right.

Golden Boy

2009-02-01T01:40:00.000-08:00

Hello, my name is Steve Edwards and I am an artist printmaker and also a member of East London Printmakers. ELP are a collective of artists who share and run a studio in Hackney in east London. Golden Boy is an example of my current work. It is a multi-plate linocut I made in response to a fairy tale called Iron John. It is one of three different pieces based on that tale, which form part of ELP's Wonderland show, currently on tour in Germany. 40.5 x 31.5cm
