Description

The print is from a series of 17 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.

This series of screen prints are all unique, no two are alike. They have been printed by hand onto 250gsm Somerset Satin printmaking paper. The paper size is approx 28.5×28.5 cm with hand torn or deckled edges and the printed area is 18x18cm. Most have some gold elements, these are either circles of imitation gold leaf or tiny dots of gold ink, both also applied by screen printing.

They will be sent unframed in a sturdy cardboard package and postage within the UK is included.
