Miriam Hancill (b.1992) lives and works in Edinburgh. In this series of prints, Hancill translates the diagrams for the graining of lithography stones (the act of removing the previous drawings) into large scale monoprints. 

Miriam is a printmaker and practice-based researcher who recently completed her PhD at Edinburgh College of Art. Her practice teases out the generative sensations of print making through material-led inquiry. It makes explicit the media, tools, decisions, and actions of the printmaker within the workshop setting – harnessing print's inherent uncertainty, and adopting a practical methodology driven by processual awkwardness. Textiles play an important role in Miriam's work, their malleability and variable scale providing points of potential through which the conventions of the discipline can begin to be unpicked.
