About this series

Back in the 1990s I had a boyfriend who was also an artist. He did a lot of work using Sculpey polymer clay, including puppets, vessels, lamps and so on. He also made a bunch of stamps for printing. I decided to try my hand at making some images using those stamps. A few of those images are displayed below.

Os Híbridos (Hybrids)

I recently made a few hybrid works combining stamp prints (and other sources) with some old drawing from the 1980s. I haven’t decided yet if they are particularly successful, but they have been an interesting exercise.
