Viv and Helen at Home

Print description

My friends Viv and Helen commissioned me to create a record of their life at home. We share a common interest in swimming, and over the years they have supported me generously, so this was a very special work for me.

In this print, they are writing and knitting, as they do, surrounded by objects that we all accumulate throughout life: presents from friends, souvenirs from holidays and pieces of art they love.

They installed beautiful hydraulic tiles on their balcony. I love their view, looking straight out towards the beach. The King Alfred building, with its distinctive toboggans, may not be there for much longer, as the council has approved a new development. With that news comes the pang of nostalgia that does not like change, and the feeling that time moves onwards regardless.

Initial dawing on pages of the Oxford Book of Victorian Verse

Print details

To create this print, I begin by making individual drawings in ink, which I then bring together to form the final composition. I scan these original drawings and digitally add colour. The finished design exists solely in digital form and is printed using archival inks on fine art paper. I release the design as a limited-edition print, available in standard ‘A’ sizes, ranging from A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm) to A4 (21 × 29.7 cm).

Photograph of the base drawings for the art print. I draw these on A3 sheets of specialised marker paper using calligraphic brushes, fine-line ink pens, sponges, sandpaper and other materials. The medium is ink, watercolour and charcoal. I scan these original drawings to form the main linework and patterns in the final print.
