A summary of exhibition history.

I began by collecting and working with newspaper spoils (the accidental and incidental prints created during the cleaning of the press after a newspaper print-run). Early works were spoils collages.

What followed was a thorough exploration of newspaper printing technologies and materials including used newspaper printing plates.
