Plan Pink

Plan Pink is one in a series of three hand-printed artworks called the Plan Series. It was selected and hung for the Royal West of England Academy (RWA) 167th Annual Open exhibition in 2019 and for 'Collect: The Leading International Fair for Contemporary Art and Design' in partnership with Artsy in 2021. It was also shown by Contemporary Applied Arts gallery as part of Focus 21 at the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour for London Design Week in 2021.

Hand-printed in layers of varying opacity onto linen and using textile printing techniques and photography, Michelle combines a skilful and joyous use of colour with texture to hint at surfaces within architecture. The ‘Plan Series’, was inspired by the footprints of a building, plans, architectural details, geometric forms of structures and the voids in between: the spaces we inhabit, have left behind and pass through.

The three artworks in the series were printed simultaneously in the studio, a way of working that Michelle prefers, enjoying the relationships and interplay that results during the making of her hand-printed artworks.

Dyes and pigments screen-printed on to linen and stretched over a wooden frame. Framed in a white wooden box frame with anti-reflective glass.
