For these prints I’ve been using found objects as mark-making tools. In this case, pre-wound industrial bobbin spools have been pressed into soft ground or used to make an etchings with the sugar lift technique. Many of them are in the state of coming unspooled. Loose threads and tightly wound forms coming undone allude to the way our world seems to be spinning out of control these days.
