About The Artwork

This is a fine art original print is of a rare and precious environment – Blanket bogs are fascinating places. Composed of three seporate drypoint plates with photo etching and carborundum printed on Hahnemuhle etching paper. The blanket bogs on Dartmoor are of international importance. These magnificent mires support remarkable plants, rare wildlife and the sponge-like sphagnum mosses in shades of green, gold and red create a bouncing blanket across the land. This amazing absorbency plays a vital role in water/flood control, plus the resulting peatlands are also a vital carbon store. This landscape deserves to be further studied and valued. This complex, handprinted artwork is part of a body of work produced for the Devon Wildlife Trust’s Magnificent Mires Project. You can read more about blanket bogs here - http://www.devonwildlifetrust.org/magnificent-mires This artwork was conceived and created solely as an original fine art print. Unlike a gicleé print or any other computer print out, none of my prints are reproductions of a pre-existing painting or drawing.

Through my artwork I look to say something about the environment - explore how we interact, use, abuse and collaborate with the natural world around us. This has taken me to interact with specific sites such as a regenerated landfill site and increasingly to focus on the small ubiquitous and often reviled weeds and bugs that form the foundation and engine room of ecosystems. Much of my current practice involves ongoing studies of Devon Hedgerows. Devon has more hedgerows than any other county in the UK, supporting over 600 plant species, 1500 insects, 65 birds and 20 mammals. In addition to studying Devon hedgerows, I have also undertaken projects looking at the importance of urban bees; a celebration of our most rare farm bird being brought back from the brink of extinction; and ongoing observations of local weeds/wild flowers. I am a founder member of Double Elephant Print Workshop and a member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
