Anne Gournay

“I am drawn to highly contrasted and textured images, and look for structure and patterns in the world around me. I work from my photographs, using my camera and my imagination as a sketchbook. I have a precise idea in my mind of what I’m aiming for, and use various printmaking techniques, sometimes combining them, to achieve the desired result. My training at Central St Martin has enabled me to learn how to use softwares like photoshop, which open a lot of possibilities for a printmaker. I really enjoy combining various techniques, trying out new ones, but also mixing a traditional and a more ‘high tech’ approach to image making.”
