Works on Paper celebrates emerging artists who have harnessed the versatile medium of paper to craft exceptional and thought-provoking pieces. This exhibition serves as a testament to the enduring power of paper as a canvas for artistic expression.
At the end of last year, I was thrilled to discover that I had had my print Acorns and Oakleaves accepted to hang in a London Gallery.
I had been trying different papers and found a beautiful textured heavy paper called Somerset and this really brought out the detail of the etching. I etched this image on a piece of very old steel. I used a hardground and had carried it around with me for some time before I realised what I wanted to draw.
Having collected some fallen twigs and acorns on a winter walk in a lovely small woodlands in south London, I brought them home, laid them out and drew directly into the hardground using an old dipping pen, inherited from my grandfather, himself a keen artist.
The exhibition opens on Monday 15th January and runs to 8th February 2024
