New print and a new body of work

It is often said that familiarity breeds contempt, I am ashamed to say that when it comes to my own local area I am guilty of this. I have recently started to look anew at the valley where I live and grew up in . An area that for the last 30 odd years I have sadly overlooked and neglected when it came to inspiration for my own work. In part this has come about because of my daughter Carly's growing interest in photography. Seeking out local sites for her to explore and photograph has made me look again at the history and landscape of my local area, revealing some hitherto unknown and surprising riches. So this new print is in someways a new beginning, heralding the start of a new and in some ways more personal body of work.

This is the first 6 stages of the print.
