Carolyn Murphy presented a new work at the Printmakers Council’s ‘Green and Pleasant Land’ exhibition at Oxford’s North Wall Art Centre. The show brings together selected landscape inspired work from around 70 members, working across a wide range of print media. The exhibitions runs from May 30 to June 13.
‘Deep Roots’ is a combined collagraph and linocut print, drawing on the post-industrial Pennine landscape, near Manchester. “In this work I wanted to explore the idea of land as Mother Earth – its exploitation, destruction and resilience. Beautiful areas of the Pennines around Manchester are former industrial sites, where mining ravaged the landscape and people. This semi-abstracted work brings together real landscapes and ideas of land and belonging,” explained Carolyn.
Some images here are from exhibition opening which took place on Saturday May 30 and was very well attended.
