Heinrich Toh’s monoprints explores the complexities of travel, displacement, and assimilation. Where his immediate environment, represented in vast ethereal landscapes, investigates ideas of longing, past and present memories, personal history, and layered cultural identities. While investigating the definition of home and evolving mindscapes. The process of his work combines collagraphs made from cardboard plates, painterly monotype backgrounds, and the transfer of imagery with paper-lithography. They are printed with multiple runs through an etching press that results in layers of color, pattern, and imagery.
