Project details

 
The Rawcliffe Bridge Award for Sustainability - BASF in Agriculture

Linocut illustration for BASF’s sustainability competition. The Rawcliffe Bridge Award for Sustainability celebrates farmers' work to reach their sustainability targets and recognises how growers will improve sustainability in the next twenty years.​ 

 

The illustration is composed of 16 individual linocut prints. Each quadrant of the plate depicts a season in the farming year and the natural cycle of farming: cultivation, planting, protection and harvesting. See how I created the linocut prints in my Rawcliffe Bridge Award blog

Linocut illustrations for National Trust’s Sutton Hoo

A series of 12 linocut illustrations was created using the linocut techniques. They illustrate the story of Sutton Hoo from the Anglo-Saxons to the present day, including archaeology, history, human interaction, landscape, nature, and local wildlife.​ See how I created each linocut print in five Sutton Hoo blogs and That's Brave's case study.

Linocut illustrations for the Intensive Care Unit at York Hospital

A series of 8 illustrations for the ICU at York Hospital. Each illustration was inspired by British wildflowers and medicinal plants related to healing and well-being. Much of the inspiration was from photos I’ve taken in my garden and during walks through meadows and woodlands. Each illustration was drawn digitally in the linocut style, using a vibrant, uplifting colour palette.

Commissioned by The Arts Team at York and Scarborough Hospitals.*
