Ann Townson

Print-making breaks away from my usual practice. Customarily I use the printing process in a minor way in my paintings and textile works.

It was after looking at the powerful satirical works of the German Expressionists (George Grosz and Otto Dix) and the socio-political commentary work of English print-makers James Gilray and William Hogarth that I decided to use the mendium of print as the main source of communication with the viewer.

Puns, double-meanings and playfulness play an important part in my practice. Hopefully they provoke emotional and psychological responses in the viewer.
