Title: An Ghealach ag Mealladh na Taoide
Size: 20 x 29 cm
Medium: Woodcut and Chine Colle

On viewing the exquisite collection of prints, paintings and illuminations pertaining to the subject of gardens in the Chester Beatty Library, I noticed how often water is featured. It is usually worked in black and silver. The title of my print comes from a poem in Irish by Gabriel Fitzmaurice and refers to the "coaxing" effect that the moon has on tidal waters. The moon symbols are printed using black and silver.
