Mokulito

Catherine Mc Cue 
One hundred and thirty kilometres from Eronmanga, south west of Queensland is a gas plant, where working as an artist in residence I was free to explore the landscape in and around the plant. My main interest was in the visual contamination of the surrounding landscape. The images produced use techniques such as mokulito, ‘wood lithography’, monoprint and digitally altered photography. Steel Landscape depicts the harsh landscape that surrounds the plant, the work focuses on the disused material from the plant, now embedded in the dry earth, which in a way has become an accidental sculptural form.

This one was a little different to the others, I did the same preparation as the others, sand, milk, draw add a little nitric  to the gum, but left the plate a lot longer than usual due to unforeseen circumstances.

This work also included the use of mono printing to form the background colour, using a clear plastic plate I use createx mono colours, printed first, allowed to dry and then proceed to print the wood plate, I also cut away parts of the plate to show  the colours underneath.
