Alison Deegan: Lino Printer
Professionally Alison combines her art work with a career as a landscape archaeologist, with a specialism in identifying archaeological features from aerial imagery. She uses air photographs dating back to the 1940s, modern sources such as Google Earth and lidar imagery (Light Detection and Ranging – detailed measurements of the ground surface using lasers) to create maps of archaeological landscapes.
Her skills recognize the subtle variation in crops and grass, marks in the soil and earthworks that reveal the remains of monuments that are thousands of years old, through to those that that were built in the Second World War. Her understanding of the landscape as a sequence of layers formed over millennia is reflected in Alison’s artistic practice. She uses lino cuts to express the structure of a landscape either through bold, single-colour prints or builds up layers of colour and texture to create more complex and intricate images. For Alison, printmaking is a release from the accuracy and objectivity demanded for her archaeological work and the physical process of lino cutting and printing is an escape from the digital workspace.
