We haven’t been able to have as many guests to Garden Press as we wanted to this year but I’ve still been very busy. We’ve been walking everyday and noticing the tiny changes day by day in the garden and the landscape surrounding us. Lots of inspiration has come from these wanders, from hawthorne blossom in may to holly berries in the snow, red kites soaring overhead year round and the shy occasional woodpecker. This has been making its way into my new work in Garden Press. Another big inspiration has been reminiscing about past travel and treasured places. I’m sharing some of the work that’s been made in this time.
this Lino cut was based on some beautiful wallpaper I saw in Brodsworth house a couple of years go.
This little bird was inspired by a medieval illumination.
This little creature was a reflection on the first lockdown .
Back in early march last year I was in Paris on a University study visit. On the last day I took some students to see Sainte Chapelle. While the windows awe inspiring it was the tiles on the floor that inspired this Lino.
I am an avid cyclist , this is Loch Ness, the bottom of a 10 mile long hill!
Just having fun with this Lino
This wall in Tenerife has fascinated me for years, i’m working on a reduction Lino print of the same subject.
