“I am aware that I, without realizing it, have lost my feelings - I don’t belong here anymore. I live in an alien world. I prefer to be left alone, not disturbed by anybody. They talk too much - I can’t relate to them - they are only busy with superficial things.”

— Erich Maria Remarque - All Quiet on the Western Front

A series of prints created using linocut, overprinted with monotype and drawn into with ink and chalk. This series emerged from the work using decaying fruit encased in outer finery: an attempt to make beautiful, render irrelevant the inevitable decay and rot within. What emerges from these prints is a sense of what we try and protect, what is exposed, and the sense of isolation and alienation that arises from this.
