About the artwork
Printed with natural ochre pigment inks on Japanese paper. The boats%u2026 come from a response to the graffiti recently appearing around the Forest of Dean: %u201Cstop the boats%u201D. Thinking about our natural human needs to travel and explore, the fragility of %u2018home%u2019 and the misplaced fear of unknown migrating humans. Here woodblock printed imagined waterscapes are inhabited by monoprinted paper boats; human-made vessels, vulnerable to the elements carrying hopes, imagined futures, curiosity and a desire for freedom and safety.
