Australia

My trip to The Djumbunji Press in Cairns at the end of 2012 gave me an amazing opportunity to sketch the incredibly unique landscape of Queensland as well as learn about the amazing patterned lino cuts of the Torres Strait Islanders. The prints in this section, created at the Djumbunji Press, are my attempt to understand the methods of the artists I met there and also my reaction to the amazing landscape I explored. See also the Welsh Bestiary Category for more homegrown work inspired by my Australian visit. I also have a sketchbook with over 60 sketches to work through. Watch this space.....
