along the roadside, by the fields and trees, under rainfall and hot sun, in the shadow and the open air - never wanted, but never wanting for a new horizon

experimented with linocut for the first time. i was swiftly drawn into the process and finished with far too many rabbits. i wasn’t sure what to do with them, so i decided to photograph them all and watch them flicker about.
when i carved potato prints as a little kid, i absolutely adored the crackly faded textures of the not-quite-right prints, and annoyed my teachers by deliberately screwing all my prints up. at the time of writing, i’d just like to figure out how to print them properly. oh well.
i think i printed 32 in the end.

the hot seat sticks to the skin of my lower back. sweat seeps through the seams of my shirt and trickles down my arm, out into the glowing air. the crystal blue horizon whizzes into a blur but, for a moment in the chaos, i see a paradise untouched and waiting. i wish i had time to meet it
day three of #pleinapril i was unhappy with yesterday’s piece, so set distinct goals for this one. a hard time limit, half of which was devoted to planning. large opaque strokes and bold colours

a dizzying flock took over the city pavement - standing on steel benches and picking about the concrete’s cracks for food. high above the rest, emblazoned in regal maroons and earthy browns, stood what to my eyes could only be their king. he regarded me with a fiery gaze, while his royal guard looked on…
#pleinapril day two - wasn’t happy with the one, and fiddled around for far too long. want to work more on efficiency - establishing light and mood faster, with far fewer strokes

on a wet day, down a hill of bramble, i spotted a stone turtle perched on a fallen tree in the river. i don’t know how it got there, or how it would get down, but it seemed content enough amongst the gnarled maze of dead branches
