Candy says this about her work: “I start with imagery from the natural world and let this take me on a journey. Mountains, horizons, trees and other natural elements find their way into my work. My paintings and monotypes evolve intuitively. I am intrigued by the concept of making images that may be recognizable but are not specific to a time or place. I add to the work numerous times until I feel it is visually complete. Monotypes /Works on paper : Monotypes are one off, unique works on paper and cannot be reproduced. They are created by using printing inks which are applied onto a plate with a roller. The plate, together with dampened paper is run through an etching press so the image is transferred onto the paper. There is a spontaneity in this process which is difficult to recapture, hence the term, monotype or mono - print or works on paper. Collage is sometimes added to allow a slight shift in dimension in the work. These are cut from paper that Candy prints so that this merges into the work.
