Anna Matyus

My work is predominately informed and inspired by the patterns and textures from elements of architecture found at historical heritage sites around North Yorkshire. It is particularly the smaller, intricate details that I find captivating. Wanting to celebrate that which could easily be overlooked, or that is faded and worn away I use a colourful palette to accentuate these patterns and textures in my work.

My current body of work continues to explore the combination of textured and patterned elements found in my collagraph prints with the crisp lines and interesting marks I can achieve using etching printmaking techniques.
