Skeletons II - The Devils Den, 2024
£45.00
Print size 11.5 x 9.0 cm, paper size 18.7 x 15.2 cm. Linocut and monoprint, hand burnished on Tosa Shi 54gsm, edition of 50.
The second print in a series exploring the ideas of perceived permanence and the fragile nature of memory. The Devils Den, depicted here, sits on a raised area at the foot of the Valley of the Stones below Fyfield Down, Wiltshire, UK.
The remains of these ancient burial chambers we see today are only the stone bones of once great earthen mounds, and the ideas and beliefs that informed their creation are long forgotten. I wanted to play with this idea of fading memory by depicting the remaining stones by their absence.
By the nature of monoprints, each print is slightly different. The clouds and shadows subtly change across the edition, capturing the essence of time passing.
In this series I'm aiming to create images that appear to have the delicateness of charcoal drawings but with the permanence of ink, again questioning the idea of what we perceive to be permanent.
