The Odyssey/Illiad Suite
Working with printer Linda Richardson from 2000 onwards Colin revisited a technique developed 40 years earlier: "they are made from my own life experience, printed from the sea of detritus found by me on a different odyssey". The materials collected from dumps, jumble and car boot sales he made these prints of unprecedented complexity.
Each part is individually inked, then arranged by Colin on the press, for each separate pull. This means that each print is unique but there are a number available (with variations) in the same series.
