All the Ravens... precariously balanced, struggling to maintain their position on each others shoulders and that tiny ball... so much like life some days! 🌍 and our planet everyday....

One more happy accident before I move back to intended outcomes ... I felt the need to share a little yellow in honour of this glorious day in cornwall ☀️☀️☀️💛💛💛☀️☀️☀️. . . . .#wip #illustration #contemporaryprintmaking #humananimalrelationship #ukprintmakers #get_imprinted #contemporaryprintmaking #printmakingtoday #creativeinspiration #happyaccident #patterndesign #patternmaking #repeatpattern #printandpattern #sketchbook #inthestudio #collageart

Work on progress ... I am quite obsessed with these at the moment ... Just don't quite know how to take them forward yet.. a period of reflection and contemplation is required . I kind of feel like they would make lovely pendants (scaled down) does anyone know of a casting or laser etching company who could do this?

Creativity and play are so inextricably linked, the most exciting things happen when I am not trying to force it...this print is so much more interesting than I had planned 😋 starlings with camouflage

Swifts against a window...in Portugal the swifts were nesting around the churches wheeling overhead and screeching their song... it was hot and enchanting ☀️

I am intrigued by this one... it is an by product if another idea and the pattern could do with being higher but I like lots of things about it and that it seems to work metaphorically for a few other ideas I have 🤣😂😁 the joy of being edited by your own mistakes!!!. . . . . .#wip #metaphor #birdinacage #illustration #contemporaryprintmaking #humananimalrelationship #ukprintmakers #get_imprinted #contemporaryprintmaking #printmakingtoday #creativeinspiration #happyaccident #patterndesign #patternmaking #repeatpattern #printandpattern #sketchbook #inthestudio #collageart

A little wren on a ball, a painting for a change ... my printmaking is generating a whole host of ideas for paintings, but then I realised that my painting generated the ideas for printmaking.... always going round in an inescapable circle 😂

I haven't really developed my cormorant plates yet so hopefully soon I will ...but I am intersted what does sitting them on a ball say to you? I want them to be a kind of starting point for conversation or thinking but not sure if it's only of interest to me 😂😂😂

An Oystercatcher against the sun, it was beautiful down at Marazion today, there are often (quite distractingly) lots of Oystercatchers on the roundabout, but also at the beach in Mounts Bay...

I have always been around animals... I made a series of mono prints to tell their stories some are too sad.. actually most are because our animal companions live so quickly ... but they also triggered a short series of narratives in which people are transformed into thier own pets ... I am hoping to rework them into zines...

I put some old cups out in the garden and filled them with fat and seeds , I can't make things up because I have no imaginatìon 😂 so I have to set it up littoral.. I was lucky to catch this though... it's all about the fragility of our wildlife...

Whilst I am trying to conjure up some warmth here is a pair of lapwkngs ... seen at Hayle estuary at this time of year, from a distance in flight they always appear to be black and white which belies their beautiful iridecant plumage. . . . .. . . #linocut.#printmaking #blockprinting #monoprint #reliefprinting #lino #utbanbird #farmlandbirds #contemporaryart #narrative #cornwallart #wildlifeart #birdart #birdartist #wildbird #artiststudio #art #wildlife #naturalworld #mixedmedia #contemporaryprintmaking #humananimalrelationship #get_imprinted #ukprintmakers .#magpie #printmaker #oneofforiginal

Doing a little stock take and found some things I had forgotten about ... monoprinyjng is so magical .. I can't even remember the layering process I went through as this really immediate way of working is so intuitive and I feel so can say how much I LOVE this piece because it feels like I am complimenting the ferns on their great work 🤣😂🤣. . . . .#inthestudio #countrylife #countryliving #wildflowers #art #designermaker #contemporarycraft #monoprint #printmaking #foliage #fern #natureprint #originalprint #naturewalk #botanicalprint #oneoffprint

Sometimes I just love the printmaking plates this I a collagraphs and one of the examples I used when I was teaching at @cornwallcollege on the @baartdesigncornwall course.. I can't wait till next week to see the prints that the students make!

A little selection of single snowdrops to start today ... beautiful detail from these monoprints

I have been teaching collagraph printmaking this week... This is always one of my favourite plates, everyone I teach this lovely price i promise myself I will have a little focus on it but never seem to get around to it... So many other exciting processes to play with!

Even more delicate is this cast I made a few years ago the process picks up the finest details and forms a beautiful 3 dimensional relief

Happy Chinese new year! Here is Agatha! I will post a few more of my piggies in celebration of the year of the pig. But also would like to encourage everyone to think about pigs in our daily lives maybe support the @ciwf initiative. I have had the opportunity to meet and care for a few pigs and they are always amazingly full of character and intelligent creatures, I think they deserve to be treated with compassion and respect ❤#chinesenewyear #chineseyearofthepig
