I am Ian Wrench, a printmaker who has lived in West Yorkshire for over 30 years; much of this time in Marsden and Slaithwaite in the Colne Valley. I find the rural and urban variety and contrast around me a never ending source of inspiration. Currently ideas are in response to stimuli arising from these landscapes and I am particularly attracted to man’s effect on the environment. I use a variety of two dimensional and printing techniques presenting semi abstract images through screen print, collograph, monoprint and etching.
