Print Exchange - from Australia to the UK.

I did finish a project this year, being included in a print exchange overseas.

'Summer's song' shows a silver leaf cicada wing as a museum-inspired display
tag. It has a suitably aged piece of twine attached, and has been made more rustic
by the addition of tea wash.

 The wing is enclosed in a perspex window. 

 It shimmers with the addition of silver leaf.  

 The combination of text and art.

My poem

Summer's song
Cicadoidea. 
Season's minstrels,
sing an exceptionally 
strident song.

Membranous
cellaphanous wings 
shimmer, 
and unfold.

Freedom, 
after emergence, 
 from slumber 
deeply entombed.


The printmaking company I keep. Helen's wonderful coastal scene incorporating 
real seaweed printing. Lorraine's owl portrait.
