...with a bit of help from me. I'm starting to work towards an exhibition called 'Blossoming'; it's no surprise, then, that I'm making flower images. This one is being printed out on canvas on Big Bertha, my Epson 7880. At 24 inches, this is the widest I can print to, with no limit to the length. This means that I can work reasonably big, but also generate a lot of small images simultaneously. The ink is eye wateringly expensive, and as you can see, there are ten cartridges to replace...fortunately, they don't all run out at the same time. I'm contemplating offering a printing service for textile artists; please
email me if you are in the UK/Europe and might be interested, so that I can see if there is any demand.
Up until now, Bertha has lived at the Gallery in Dereham; now, though, she lives at home with me. It's good to be able to work when I feel like it, though she does take up rather a lot of room. I think it's worth it, though. Not being limited to A4 is great. Every home should have one!
