My Statement

In this piece i was looking at life from beginning to end.

If a person is lucky life can last a long time, 

you reach the end of the book.

Finished Book on display in the hall of Clúain Mhuire.

This is my matrix i have pop riveted the sides together

to create a circle, white paper has being inserted inside

to make the images more prominent, hoping to use this

together with the book maybe as a stand for the book.

Covering book for a nicer finish.

Process: lyrics of lion king printed on Epsom printer, the matrix which is 

perspex has being etched with images starting with baby and mother 

ending with two grave stones. The matrix is inked up with black ink

cleaned off with tissue paper and scrim. The matrix is placed on the printing press

bed and the paper which has being soaked and blotted is then placed over the
