Jacqui Symons is a printmaker primarily working with monoprints. She produces delicate and fragile prints of leaves, using colour and repetition to create both abstract and representational works of art. Each piece is unique and original – her technique involves inking and placing each leaf individually, which can mean hours of work with a pair of tweezers!
Influenced by nature and the changing seasons, her work reflects the beauty and fragility of the trees and plants that surround us. She is fascinated by the complex patterns and intricate texture of leaves, which go largely unnoticed and overlooked in our everyday lives.
Just one leaf can have a delicacy and sophistication that is typically unobserved amongst the homogenous mass of a forest; her work encourages the viewer to approach the familiar in a new and more considered way.
