Linda writes:  The work on view is a continuation of ideas inspired by the effects of coastal erosion and the power of the sea. My working practices involve both woodcut and collage with sometimes a combination of the two. This allows for a more flexible approach, making constant revision possible.   

 

In the recent collage Groynes the implication is that the actual wooden structures will stand firm against the sea, but in making the collage I have introduced a greater interaction between sea and groynes, giving rise to a rather more unpredictable result.

 

 A piece from another series shows Priory Ruins re- imagined as masonry without recognisable form.

As in the coastal work, it is an event or sense of place that is evoked but not described. The formal arrangements of colour and shape dominate.
