Freedom and frustration. Freedom running with long hair, running with hares. Frustration pulling at hairs.

If you’ve ever had a dream taken away from you, then you’ll know what this is about.

This print portrays the garden at Dartington Hall and the fact that Henry Moore’s reclining lady never turns around to look at it.

I saw a hare running across the fields whilst on holiday on Westray last year. The spiral pattern in the landscape and mirrored on the hare is based on the pattern carved on the amazing Westray Stone.

Be careful where you tread, you might destroy something delicate. I was pleased with the texture in the foreground with this one.

The inspiration for this print was a magnolia tree in the park down the road. I think the colours are simple but very effective.
