Notes
Hodgins worked at The Artists’ Press for many years and it was always a pleasure to have Rob’s energy, sticky tea buns and humour in the studio. Mark Attwood had a special place at his press for Hodgins, as he felt that the ‘old man’ pushed him harder and challenged him more than most other artists. When the printer and artist collaborated the energy in the printshop was tangible. Hodgins used monoprints as his starting point and then developed ones that he liked most into lithographs. He also experimented with hand coloured gravure prints. – The Artists’ Press
