Sue Potter
Maker Showcase
Printmaking.
With a background in both graphic design and architecture Sue’s printmaking is influenced by both disciplines.
Sue’s work explores the graphic flat colour achieved from the relief process; the depth and surface texture of intaglio (and the counterpoint between flat, crisp colour and random surface granulation); the complexity and simplicity of geometry; and the visual playfulness of pattern and more recently through the repetition of component elements. Sue is also fascinated by the process of blind embossing which create ethereal surface textures and over the last year she has been experimenting with cutting and folding the embossed surface to create an additional layer of texture and three dimensionality.
