'all roads lead to pasta' - mono print with collage



I like the colourful, quirky nature of this piece. The mono printing was completed back at university, I used an image from a magazine and then my photograph. All paper based.

Will experiment more with this.

Need to try this concept with machine embroidery.        Hand embroidery on cotton fabric. Enjoyed creating this, strong use of colours and the distorted image provides a contemporary feel on an otherwise quite traditional medium.
