I started carving small rubber erasers to create relief prints for a 100-day project on Instagram, which I called #onegoodshapefor2021. When creating the project for myself, I remember wanting to slow down enough to investigate shapes in a very simple way, every day. Over the course of that year, I drew and carved 100 erasers, then printed each one into an 8-block repeat on brown cardboard using a black ink pad. After the year was over, the stamps and the cards swiftly landed in a box on my studio shelf for years. I thought about the designs from time to time, daydreaming about what they might become, but no one idea ever really stood out. While printing them for yet another idea, it finally clicked that these marks would make incredible fabric designs. From there, the collection IMPRINT was off and running. I knew the shapes should remain solid black and hand-printed to preserve the texture of the erasers being stamped on paper. But I wanted some organic contrast to the stark boldness of the shapes, so I painted very bright, loose watercolours to pair with them. These designs are a lot less complicated on the surface, but the added colours and layers add so much depth while still celebrating the simplicity of the shapes that inspired the initial project.
