The Monotypes

George Wallace retired to Victoria, British Columbia in 1985. Though he had printed a few monotypes in Falmouth early in his career, he started to vigorously explore this medium after retirement. He records that he had made over 400 monotypes between 1988 and 2005, a selection of which is shown here.
