About My Practice
Joshua is inspired by the Impressionists’ style of loose mark-making and how you see the chisel marks in his work from close up but as you move further away from the image it reads as super realism. He works with the Japanese technique of selective rolling his inks to build up the tones of each layer of his prints.
Tools & Materials
Joshua has a large printing press in the centre of his studio with two work stations in the windows, one with a glass sheet where he mixes and rolls out his oil-based inks and the other where he does his initial sketch and chisels out the lino. He works on Fabriano Rosins 285g paper to absorb the layers of ink.

As a multidisciplinary artist, I use collage and mixed media to create assemblages that transform the natural beauty of the coastline into layered abstract compositions, reflecting its textures and forms.
