Duncan Pass
Artist
Duncan Pass has been a practicing artist for the last 22 years. Before that, he worked as a tyre fitter, a factory worker, a lifeguard and a street cleaner.
As an artist, his perennial subjects are landscape and trees, and he is interested in traditional drawing, painting and printmaking using a low-tech, hands-on approach. He uses analogue equipment rather than computers, and although he has one ready-built etching press, he has also built his own printing presses in various sizes, including several converted Victorian mangles, and a large press made from scrap metal and RSJ girders with a 6-foot wheel.
