MONOPRINT DIARY 2012

Monoprint diary 2012 was a collection of monoprints that were compiled in a book, that expressed the highlighted issues of women under violence. Created in 2012, the Monoprint diary was a response of the violence and abuse that women were going through as well as artist Bridget Evans had experienced in a previous relationship.

The range of work is a variety of navy blue paint that relates to the inner blood colour of a human being that has a slight relationship withstanding with celticism and the violence women has experienced throughout the years stemming back to medieval and Celtic mythological decades.

In this collection of a hundred prints that showed a variety of responses it also was a homage to pay to British Young Artist and Turner prize winner Tracey Emin. Just like Tracey, Bridget created a book that held works of Monoprints, that were responses of the life she was living and escapism she had experienced. Monoprint diary 2012 was actually called by Bridget Evans - originally "Monoprint Hell" after the amount of work that was involved to produce such a book.

With visual recordings of the work, Bridget has placed some of her work online to view through her art channels on Youtube. The work shows a variety of responses and all in a book that was covered by tissues and a black printed cover. Along in her video she shows how violence that women go through with body images and monoprint wording also is a subject not to be taken lightly.

This image is one of many printed and shows the body bruised, suffering and hurt from the form of violence and abuse that went on. The reason of 2012, and its published work was covering the responses that Bridget the international Welsh artist was going through previously before leaving a toxic relationship to become single and free.

Finally, I love my paintbrush more than you, is one of many worded monoprints that Bridget Evans had created during these years of 2012 within her home studio in Wales. The workings of the monoprint and wording itself describes the love for art over relationships. The whole workings of this, is showing that Bridget valued her artwork and creativity highly over love and romanticism in meeting and redating.

The work was sadly lost during 2015 -2020. During the move to England and restarting her life where she took the married name Harnett, before double barrelling the surname then dropping it to return to her maiden name Evans.

International welsh artist - Bridget Evans - is now hampshire and surrey border based within a home that offers space in a shed to create work, and during her life in England has successfully held a numerous of exhibitions within London, Hampshire country area and online.
