Artwork description:
This is my take on a painting by Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) made in 1890 and I have used the same title. The scene shows an isolated house standing on the edge of the Brittany coast, near Pouldu. Gauguin is famous as a painter but he was also a printmaker and made experimental editions of a dream-like nature, often starting his prints from images in his paintings. His work was influenced by Japanese prints he'd seen in Paris and in the collection of his friend Vincent Van Gogh. It seems to me that Gauguin was always searching for a paradise and this picture describes his blueprint. His restless meanders raise an eternal question: How might any of us regain a place in Eden? Or, if we feel we no longer belong there, then where do we now belong?
Materials used:
heavy wove paper, oil-based printing ink

I notice sympathetic details in everyday scenes and like to portray
