A limited edition, hand printed screen print, made in England. Books are deeply personal things. Each of us form unique link with the characters we read about, relate to storylines and personalities in different ways and enjoy all sorts of genres from crime to romance, history to fantasy. I have had a hard think about the books that are closest to my heart and come up with a list of 20 novels that mean the most to me, a lot of the classics to less well-known stories deserving of a wider audience. This list should be the start of discussion between family, friends, children, book lovers or not: why do we read? What is a good book? What would be your list? This work highlights also the importance of the cover and the image in the literature and how the visual art can create a play with the covers, adding some colours and so put more attention on the books. Libraries tend to occupy a sacred space in modern culture. People adore them. The grandest libraries, built like monstrous cathedrals, are particularly beloved. This is a theme that comes up repeatedly in Borges’s work “Paradise is a library, not a garden” he famously said. Please note colour may vary (only slightly) in the flesh. This screen print was hand printed in water based inks on 300gsm Cartridge Paper. Size of image : 30 X 40 cm Limited edition of 10 prints. PLEASE NOTE: Frame not included. This print will be wrapped in acid free tissue paper and packed in a robust cardboard box for delivery. A trackable mailing service is normally used to ensure it reaches you safely.

I am a printmaker and mixed media artist based in London. I rely on photography, drawing, paint and collage to explore the world around me. In my artworks, images are combined, removed from their original narrative context and reconfigured into a new scenario. Some of my works are based on collages, transformed into a hand made screen print. I appreciate the messiness of sticky glue, soggy paper and the unpredictable nature of the final product. I am interested in working on the boundaries between collage and technology. My visual language embraces the brightness of Pop art. I like the screen printing media because it is no longer confined to a simple impression on paper, it offers artists a way to experiment and fail, to test colour relationships and play with ideas. Often appropriating visual themes and incorporating these as printed motifs, I adopt a playful approach in my practice. Inspiration is found in my surroundings: colours, lines, shapes and patterns that can be found in cities, design and fashion and try to find humour in day to day life. I am inspired also by pets and their special place in our family life.
