project #1

a leopard comes to see me

A LEOPARD WAS BORN IN THE OTHERWORLDLY PRINTMAKING STUDIO IN A BASEMENT AT THE VERY HEART OF FITZROVIA, LONDON; WHERE I HAD THE HONOUR TO BE INVITED TO DO AN ARTIST RESIDENCY AT THE OLD POLLOCK'S TOY MUSEUM.

THIS SERIES OF AQUATINT ETCHINGS WERE INSPIRED BY THE MUSEUM BUILDING ITSELF, THE COLLECTION, RECOLLECTIONS OF MY OWN INHABITED SPACES AND GLIMPSES INTO MY LIFE.

THE SERIES ENDED UP BEING A WAY OF RECONNECTING SOME OF THE FORGOTTEN BITS OF MYSELF, INTEGRATING MY PUBLIC SELF AND THE LEOPARD (MY SPOTTED LIONESS, MY ALTER EGO), SALUTING AND EMBRACING THE WILD IN ME.
