Abstract

Mirror Image – a series of 34 variant monoprint lithographs, each one unique in its combination of colours. All are pulled from two stones etched with a drawn linear pattern, one a mirror of the other: rays fanning out from two points along a diagonal horizon, forming two penumbras of intense colour. This is a technique that effectively eschews many of the concerns of duplication and reproduction usually central to print production, as each one of these works is essentially a one–off hand–printed painting.

For the exhibition, 22 prints from the series will form a vivid frieze around the gallery, each contrasting but also echoing and resonating with the others across the space: experienced like ripples and waves of colour around the room. The series was produced at Hole Editions, Newcastle upon Tyne, in collaboration with Lee Turner, with whom Götz has previously worked on an earlier set of lithographs.
