Marple 44
Marple 44 is a self-authored project focusing on my hometown, Marple (Stockport).
Marple 44 is a series of 44 drypoint intaglio etch prints, each following a cohesive 3x15cm format on A5 paper. The content of the 11 print sets ranges in focus from historical and cultural icons of Marple, to directly personal locations and representations of memories growing up in the town. My parents and my grandparents have lived in and directly beside Marple since the 1970s, meaning it is a place of great personal heritage for me.
The number of prints created for this project are in direct reference to my mum, who passed at 44. Many of the prints are references to memories of her.
The prints created for this project have been compiled into a publication, where information and background of each print can be found.
