‘Alcala’, Screenprint, 30cm x 30cm

‘Alacala’ was based on two photos taken in Alcalá la Real, Spain, of a beautiful scrub, a Spring flower, and a rustic & slightly ominous-looking chimney. The other main image is derived from a scan of a dead viper found on a nearby road. These were accompanied by silhouettes of plants from my garden in London. Whilst Andalucia is sometimes stunning, the monoculture of olive groves, increasingly extreme climate & battered buildings often give the feeling of a dying landscape that is in its last throes.

‘Alcala’ won the Great Art Prize at The National Original Print Exhibition London 2018, & was also exhibited at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair the same year.
