These pieces use print and include other processes; collage, hairs (is that collage too?), sewing. I’m not sure how they would be categorised: monotypes, monoprints, another type of thing, drawing?

    It’s great to see all these together. Regarding deffinitions it’s really up to you, stating it’s a drawing is a comment on how you use it. Some are monoprints, some more collage than others.

    A monotype is ‘a unique painted or inked impression transferred from an unincised and unregistered matrix’. Refer to my ‘Monouno’ book p. 16. for a potted history of the definition from it’s 1881 beginnings.
