I produced some monoprint butterflies during my initial research for the Cheltenham Illustration award. I repeatedly traced my pencil illustrations to produce a number of unique images. I then arranged the pages and bound them into simple books. These I will possibly sell at this years Liverpool book fair.

I began to explore the idea of how evidence is presented and how if something that isn’t true is presented in a scientific way does it make it believable?
