Artwork description:

The awnings, balconies and roofs of a remote hillside village in Sicily inspired this design. However, when I thought it was all ready for cutting the screen print stencils, I realised the design had turned out too architectural and lifeless.

Enter the seagulls. Swooping across the canvas, they break up the linear shapes and introduce movement and a sense of foreground. Come to think of it, they 'photo-bombed' the design. A stroke of genius (or divine intervention) if I say so myself!

To our amusement, our tutor at the Red Hot Press in Southampton accused me and a colleague of 'pushing the boundaries of the technique' with our intricate stencils, but of course she was right. There are a few wobbles where the stencil took strain, areas of patchy transfer and misalignments, but it all adds to an attractive effect. I'm proud of this series of prints and I hope you like it too.

It is sold unframed, for ease and economy of shipping. However, I have included some app-generated images showing the artwork framed, to help you visualise what it might look like.

Please note that I am willing to ship to most countries, so if the shipping profile for this artwork does not include where you are, please feel free to message me to make a request.
