Artwork description:

A reduction print in 4 colours illustrating the calm retreat of an allotment patch. Among the thriving vegetables and flowers is a quiet place to sit, enjoy a cup of tea and read a while. Meanwhile the blackbird takes the opportunity to look out for a tasty treat.

I love walking by allotment areas and enjoying the small personalisations, the way each owner creates a space to suit their needs, and the sense that hard, muddy work can result in growth and fruitful abundance.

For me they are a reminder, in their own humble way, that anythng is possible.

Materials used:

Oil-based printing ink and Japanese paper
