I have been printing raw slips on what I call clay pages. They are slabs I roll that are very thin and have been bisque fired.
The clay page images are distillations from a series of collages in my current sketchbook.
The collages are based on photos taken on my dog walks. For a couple of years I have been thinking about horizon lines and now with the focus of intersecting trees I see the landscape with a fresh eye.
