Gill Tyson is a printmaker whose main practice is in lithography, concentrating on the richness of expressive marks within this medium. She develops her prints by building up layers of colour to create a depth and intensity in deceptively simple and distilled imagery. Gill's work has been likened to “painting in slow motion”.
"I am drawn to remote, often bleak and harsh, environments - places as diverse as Orkney, The Lofoten Islands and the Namib Desert. I look for incidents of manmade presence in places that are in some ways inhospitable. It's often a seemingly out of place marker in the landscape; a circus poster on a telegraph pole by the Arctic Sea, a kilometre marker in the Namib Desert. At the moment I am working on a series of images looking at places where the road runs out; a pier collapsed into the sea, a remote community at the end of the road."
