Niamh Geraghty-Morris | Printmaking | Devon
Niamh’s work responds to the love of her surroundings, nature, intricate details noticed and moments captured. A contemplation on ecology and our relationship with our environment.
She makes small editions of handmade prints, cards and books. She combines drypoint and woodcut techniques with monoprinting to create a painterly quality to her prints, so each in the edition will vary slightly and be unique. She starts with the slow process of carving the wood, creating small intentional marks that will begin as a suggestion of the image and then combines these marks with the less predictable fluidity of monotype, layering colours to create a richness and depth to the printed image.
Her work as a printmaker is informed and influenced by her training and experience as a silversmith, often using the same tools to transfer the fine skills of etching and engraving precious metals to the printing block to create an image on paper.
She studied three dimensional design metals at the University of High Wycombe and silversmithing / jewellery at the University of Plymouth. She is a member of the Double Elephant Print workshop in Exeter.
