Sunday Harvest at the Allotment

Print description

A figure walks down the hill, balancing a woven basket on his head, filled with produce from his allotment. In the distance, the red-brick London Road Viaduct—a marvel of Victorian engineering—forms a screen. Through its high arches, the city of Brighton and Hove appears. Beyond the sea, the Rampion Wind Farm stands as a legacy for the future of green, renewable energy.

This is an allegory and celebration of public transport, vegetarianism, and the simple joy of being outdoors on sunny days under blue skies.

This third design for the Artists Open Houses Festival features my friend Dominic, who—along with his partner Chris—proudly grows vegetables at an allotment and, in the summer, generously distributes his surplus among friends. Dom is co-organiser of Round Hill Green Spaces, helping to make his community greener. He is without doubt a green warrior.

Print details

To create this print, I start by crafting individual drawings in ink, which collectively form a collage comprising the final piece. I scan my drawings and digitally add colour. The original design solely exists in digital format, and I print it using archival inks and paper. I then release my design as a limited edition print, available in standard ‘A’ sizes, ranging from A0 (84.1 cm x 118.9 cm) to A4 (21 x 29.7 cm).
