My artist book 'In the Shadow of Old Oswestry Hill Fort' that has been in exhibition in the Willow Gallery, Oswestry is now moving to a new exhibition 'The Human Temperament at Blossoms Gallery in Aberystwyth.
In the middle of the concertina book is a blind embossing of Old Oswestry Hill Fort, the inside covers are screen printed and the outside is covered with beautiful Japanese Moriki Kozo paper.
I am inviting the viewer to take a closer look at the archaeology
and nature that are intertwined with human activity on and around Old Oswestry
Hill Fort and its impact on the environment.
This project came about as a result of pressure from proposed
development in the area which could subsequently wipe away the identity of the
Hill Fort. The 'Ghost Trees' print alludes to the human habit of destroying
nature to the point of extinction.
