About the Prints
‘Last of the Day‘ : One evening a little cat was hunting in the long grass on this small patch of ground with its disused outhouse just round the corner from where I live. Very soon after I did this print it became the site of a new development .
‘Merton Borders with Radcliffe Camera’ : I have become very interested in the Merton Borders, which are an experimental area of Oxford Botanic Garden in which drought resistant plants from around the world have been seeded and allowed to propagate themselves without intervention. In the summer they are a riot of texture and colour, dying back in the winter to what resembles an untidy hayfield! Each season is a revelation!
‘Wild Patch‘ : I have been attempting to ‘rewild’ my garden!
‘Curving Away’, First Frost’ and ‘Beech wood’s edge’: “I find much of my subject matter on my walks around the Oxfordshire countryside. All of these places are within a couple of miles of my home and I am fascinated to see how they shift in mood with the time of day, the weather, the changing seasons or with a change of use.”
About Jenny
As a mature student at Oxford Brookes University I studied a combination of Visual Studies and Anthropology, graduating in 1995. It was here that I first discovered printmaking, and its unpredictable nature has been a fascination to me ever since. I find my subject matter very much in the English countryside, most especially those places I have come to know well.
I watch the changes the seasons make, the weather, and the time of day, and together with the impact that we ourselves are making upon the land I am fascinated to see how the feel of a place can alter.
Art happens – no hovel is safe from it, no prince may depend upon it, the vastest intelligence cannot bring it about.
