This print was inspired by all the local walks I made during lockdown 2020 around my home village of Ashwell in Hertfordshire. As the seasons turned the hedgerows were brimming with fruit and berries and all the fields were freshly ploughed. You can see the church tower of St Mary’s on the horizon.

Linocut Print – A relief printing technique where lino is cut, inked and rolled to create an inverse relief print, generating the image as seen.
