I was asked to produce some new work for Staithes Studio gallery inspired by the beach, geology and rocks at Staithes, North Yorkshire. We have been exploring this area of North Yorkshire for a couple of years now as we take family holidays nearby and I have some of my blind embossing prints in the gallery there.
My first steps in this project are exploring the way that the sea has eroded some of the rocks on the beach using drawing, watercolour, linocuts and I have also been making some sugar lift aquatints. These rocks don't usually appear until the tide has gone out and it's a race against time to record what I see before it comes back in again.
