Artwork description:

This work shows the Railway and the Wearmouth bridges of my home city of Sunderland, in the North-East of England. The work shows these local landmarks from the unusual perspective of down below looking up. I often fish along the River Wear from this spot, so this viewpoint is a familiar one. There is something very fascinating about these strong man-made structures contrasted against the natural elements, which I hope this work captures to some degree.

'Grey, crystal skies, a strange disposition of bridges...' - 'The Bridges' - Arthur Rimbaud.

This is a limited edition linocut, printed on beautiful Fabriano Rosapina Avorio 285gsm paper.

Your print will come wrapped in protective tissue paper to reach you in the best condition.

If you have any questions relating to the work before purchase please don't hesitate to ask me.

Materials used:

linoleum, printmaking ink, carving tools
