Work Detail

Albatross

An edition of 85 with 10 artist's proofs. Printed, signed and numbered by the artist in 1987 at Lowick House Print Workshop, Cumbria, UK on John Purcell 285 gsm mould-made rag paper.

I made this print a couple of years after returning from a three month residency working on the Falkland Islands. The vast empty space of the South Atlantic had a great impact on me as well as the excitement of being so close to the fantastic wildlife. Depicted here are two Albatrosses gliding over the ocean, miles from land.
