The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde is the original title of a novel written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886. The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde or simply "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde".
It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the misanthropic Edward Hyde. The work is commonly associated with the rare mental condition often spuriously called “split personality”, wherein within the same person there are at least two distinct personalities.
In this case, the two personalities in Dr Jekyll are apparently good and evil, with completely opposite levels of morality. The novella’s impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the phrase “Jekyll and Hyde” coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next.
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was an immediate success and is one of Stevenson’s best-selling works.
Stage adaptations began in Boston and London within a year of its publication and it has gone on to inspire scores of major film and stage performances. (3)

Jason Greig attended the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts from 1982, studying printmaking under Barry Cleavin. He graduated in 1985 with Honours in Engraving, returning in 1991 as a visiting lecturer in printmaking.
Greig tutored at the Otago Polytechnic in Oamaru from 1993 to 1998, where he began working with mono prints. He has exhibited widely throughout New Zealand producing monoprints, etchings, lithographs and more recently paintings. Greig is currently Artist in Residence at Rangi Ruri School in Christchurch.(1)

A Monoprint is a single impression of an image made from a reprintable block, such as a metal plate used for etching, a litho stone or wood block. Rather than printing an edition of multiple copies of a single image, only one impression may be produced, either by painting or making a collage on the block. Monoprints may involve elements that change, where the artist reworks the image in between impressions or after printing so that no two prints are absolutely identical. Monoprints may include collage, hand-painted additions, and a form of tracing by which thick ink is laid down on a table, paper is placed on top and is then drawn on, transferring the ink onto the paper. Different effects can be achieved by altering the type, color, and pressure of the ink used to create prints. Monoprints are known as the most painterly method among the printmaking techniques; it is essentially a printed painting, the characteristic of this method being that no two prints are alike. (2)
