Artwork description:

I loved teaching art history to sixth formers, and that passion now feeds into my printmaking. I’ve created a series of humorous prints about ‘moving on’—because nothing ever truly stands still, does it? This hand-printed, three-colour block linocut, full of bold colour, texture, and playful shapes, features an unlikely pair: an Egyptian Pharaoh and a dachshund inspired by Picasso’s famous sketch of Lump, the dog he borrowed from photographer David Douglas Duncan. Lump adopted Picasso and lived with him for six years. This artwork is a light-hearted take on departure and change, made as I left my teaching career to become a full-time artist. Did you spot all the art historical nods?
