ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Original hand pulled 8 colour screen print, image size: 28.5 x 20 cm on 40 x 30 cm Heritage White 315 gsm paper, from a limited edition of 50. The Temple of Saturn is the magnificent arch at the Forum in Rome; it was a sacred ancient temple dedicated to Saturn, the god of plenty, often depicted with a scythe and associated with the harvest. It was originally built sometime between 501 BC and 497 BC and reconstructed in the fourth century BC and mostly destroyed in the mid-fifteenth century, all that remains of the Temple of Saturn are six of its Ionic granite columns crowned with a frieze thought to date to about 30 BC. The Temple of Saturn was also closely linked with the celebration of Saturnalia, during which slaves and masters would dine together.

I am a screen printer and artist, currently living in London. I love to travel around the world, exploring unusual places and cultures. I create series of multi-layered screen prints, working from my own photographs and drawings. My recent travels to Japan have inspired this series of prints. I was drawn to the tranquility of the temples and the carefully curated landscapes surrounding them. Using numerous layers of screen printing, I have built up a painterly image to convey the stillness and beauty. Gold leaf has then been applied to the prints, as it is applied to the temples themselves, to purify and protect them from negativity. An elected member of the Southbank Printmakers Gallery. I also organise North London Printmakers and curate several stands at the Affordable Art Fair. I have work in the Victoria and Albert museum archives and have collectors around the world.
