I have continued to explore the use of monotype as a technique to produce images. For this series of work (the armchair traveller continued), I have created 3 layered works. Layer 1 is a map underlay, based on a carbon paper tracing of a Cable and French map of Central Asia. Layer 2 is a form of background (eg, Gobi desert from an aerial Google earth view, or various views of the Jiayuguan fort at the edge of the Gobi desert, or Aurel Stein photographs of camel trains in the desert). Layer 3 (the top layer) is based on the armchair.
