The Fold: Loch na Sealga

This print represents Loch na Sealga, situated within a topographic depression enclosed by surrounding mountainous forms. Informed by on-site drawings made during the Cape Wrath Trail in 2024, the image examines the spatial compression of the landscape.

The enclosing slopes are rendered as inward-folding structures, producing a sense of containment and mass, while also directing attention toward the central body of water. This print forms part of the 'Landforms' series, informed by landscapes encountered during long-distance walks across Scotland.

Many works were sketched directly on site and aim to convey the expansive, sweeping character of open mountain environments—their textured, topographic intricacies, broken and ragged terrain, undulating forms, the vast, tumulous skies and the brightness of water bodies. Variable addition of 3, hand modified (variations in intaglio inking and paper choice). Number in edition: 2/3 EV (HM)

Intaglio (drypoing/ collagraph) / ink on Hahnemühle 300gsm paper (colour - natural) / hand modified with oil pencil. 44.7 x 69 cm image / 49.5 x 74.5 cm paper.
