Description

An edition of screen prints inspired by seeds lying in the cold ground during winter, waiting for the temperature to rise and the conditions to be right to begin their journey towards the light. There are elements here of the care gardeners and farmers take to create the best conditions for their seeds, so the regular lines and build-up of textures suggests the preparations made to the soil and the careful selection and planting. These prints were designed at a time of creative uncertainty and reflect the hope that careful preparation and planning may yield creative rewards. They are also a reminder that there is life even where you can see no progress and that sometimes it is better to hold on to your energy reserves until the conditions are right for germination than to push forward into a harsh frost.

Earlier in the year, I made a series of unique screen prints in my home studio. These were small and experimental. From these, I have chosen my favourite of the combinations of elements and colours to create a couple of editions. These are larger in size and use (imitation) gold leaf to pick out the details. They’re printed on Somerset Satin white printmaking paper with deckled or torn edges on all sides.
