ABOUT THE ARTWORK
An eighteenth century carved wooden ship rudderhead is decorative and informative. The past speaks to the future through enduring design and our desire to collect and archive. Etching is an alternative medium for capturing the past, exploring colour and tone through delicate application of aquatint. The rudderhead is the poor cousin of the flamboyant nautical figurehead. The eighteenth century ship builders decorated everything, even the lowly rudderhead. Now is it’s chance to shine, coming out of the shadows. One of these was drawn upside down, can you tell which one? A deep marine Concentrated blue I reach back to you So ornate and dinky Your whole personality Squashed into a happy Bundle Eighteenth century To Twenty first century Upside down Tossed aside Hand drawn, etched Four layers of aquatint Shadowy Existence? No! Clarity in nostalgia!

Isolation, loneliness and abandonment: scarecrows simulate humanity. There is something there, but not life. Guardians of seedlings, their protective function reversed as these folklore figures vanish from landscapes, replaced by mechanical wind sculptures, gunfire and pesticides. Linked to the birds they are designed to frighten, a sense of community and safety in numbers prevails, placed together in the garden during lockdown. Nature reasserts calm and beauty to a polluted and damaged earth.
