In Another World
Limited edition wood engraving (unframed)
5 x 7.5 cm (printed area)
Number of prints in the edition: 20
I lose track of time when I engrave. The world becomes finger, thumb, a little acre of wood. Reading ‘fiction’ can have the same effect. Absorbed in the ‘fictional’ world, the ‘real’ world is made invisible. When you wake, it is inhabited by fiction.
Engraved in pear wood, ‘In Another World’ seeks to capture the juncture and disjuncture between the ‘real’ and the ‘imagined’. The composition is based upon a photo I took of my son when he was aged nine. In his room back then, the window was elsewhere and altogether different.
I have hand-burnished the prints in the edition to hand-torn sheets of 250 gsm white Somerset Satin paper. The sheets measure approximately 12 x 15 cm.
