Lobster Pots

I am uncertain as to why I am attracted to particular images but the Lobster Pots is an image I keep returning to, as a favourite series.
It may be related to memories from childhood, of books and half remembered illustrations.  The images themselves have nothing to do with me personally, it is more about capturing that an unidentifiable feeling.



This is a mixed media piece combining a weather map from the Festival of Britain with other ephemera from that time.

This collage made from printed surfaces.



One of two collagraph plates made and printed last week
The second of the collagraph plates and I printed more of these.  This piece was double printed and I am pleased with the atmospheric quality it has achieved.

Each one of these set of prints came out completely differently and has strong evocative feel.
