Spotted

Title: Spotted
Medium: Single colour linocut
Paper size: 54 x 105 cm
Edition size: 25

"In this linocut, I have continued my exploration of infrared camera trap imagery, which translates well into the medium of relief printing. The title ‘Spotted’ is a play on the physical appearance of a genet’s pelt and the mark-making technique I used to create the piece. For this print, I chose an image of a large spotted genet from Eswatini, that I photographed using a motion-triggered camera trap when I was studying there. This linocut is a small celebration of the wildlife that lives around oneself, unnoticed most of the time. Until I started using camera traps to see what walks around at night, I had no idea of the number of genets and other nocturnal creatures that lurk in the shadows of the spaces we inhabit."
