Title: The Pool
Size: 37 x 44 cm
Medium: Carborundum

For the past few years I have replanted my garden and designed it as I would a painting or a print. It has taken on an appearance of nature as a decorative composition, having been inspired by the pictorial qualities I find in Turkish carpets or Persian prints. It is, at once, a landscape and a still life. At the centre of this garden I have made a pool surrounded by palms, exotic plants and an abundance of flowers in an arrangement that ensures stillness and quiet. It is a subject for my work and must be seen to function in sunshine or shadow, in darkness or in moonlight.
