Description
This print is a traditional Malaysian house behind a field of tall grass, drawn in bold black lines against a red and orange sky, with red water in front, and is a part of the Nostalgia series. The series revolves around sentiment, nostalgia and a deep emotional connection with the past. For the houses, time has stopped while the world has moved on. We can look back and connect with what we see and value, such as colour, composition, and imagination.

What is a monotype print?
A monotype is a type of print whereby the printmaker starts with a clean plate the paper is pressed on after the image is created, and ends with a clean plate after the paper is pulled from it. It is, therefore, impossible to create the same image twice as opposed to monoprints. With a monoprint, the plate the paper is pressed on has the image permanently created in it using different techniques. Then it is possible to reproduce identical prints in smaller limited editions.
All the impressions I make are monotypes. The gel plate is clean so I will have to start anew to create the next impression. This ensures you always will have a unique print that nobody else has.
