Collagraph including 8 plates using charbonnel inks on Fabriano paper
h: 50 w: 42 d: 1 (cms).
This piece is one of seven in a series and was inspired by my natural neighbours who moved into the woodland we planted beside our home 15 years ago. I wasn’t too impressed with their arrival as I was worried about the smaller birds nests. But as they built their nest we decided to welcome them and put out extra food to accommodate them. I began this series of prints based on the poem one for sorrow it was an experiment in many ways. I love a story and am fascinated with folklore and our connection to the natural world. So I began with a base plate of the nest and decided to tell the story by adding magpies as individual plates. I love collagraph it’s so low impact environmentally and playful. I have included an extra image from the series I completed the series in brown with black and white magpies. This print I decided to try just black inks it’s an artists proof as I was testing colours.
£220 (As exhibited.)

This image began with a small flock of Canada geese flying in V formation. I then decided to add a larger goose in the foreground I printed several this way and as I was clearing up one day I put the small plates onto the body of the larger goose to lift them off the press. It looked class and it described to me what it is like to be part of a flock. So the idea for this print was found by accident after an immersive few days with my flock exploring being part of a flock as I printed amongst friends.
