Winter 2020-21.
My recent preoccupation has been with printmaking and I have spent the winter investigating memorabilia from my husband’s family history. I found a collection of chipped and cracked china and made these the theme for a series of lino cuts. These have been printed in sequence and I became curious about their past and that of those who owned them, leading me to an Edwardian scrapbook and so I began an imaginary story for these old things.
This summarises the last year of my creative practice, possibly the oddest time of my life.
