During the 1970s I produced a large exhibition of work entitled “Non Visual Pattern”, shown at Tullie House and Queen Mary’s College London. The content was more conceptual than minimal and therefore I have included nothing from this period apart from the etching “Circles” (no. 42) which has accompanying photographic sources.
For a brief period in the mid 1970s I studied chemistry with the Open University. This was of particular importance to me as it opened up an interest in experimenting with chemicals/materials which crossed the boundaries between conventional areas of printmaking.
During this decade I was also greatly helped by R T Cowern RA with many of the aspects of the chemistry of etching and print finishing which had been sadly missing from all the previous guidance.
