"The artist is also a born adventurer. His explorations, unlike those of the tourist, are rewarded by the discovery of beauty spots unmentioned in the guide books, and with tireless curiosity and an exceptional proneness to wonderment, he will come upon objects of remarkable interest overlooked or even shunned by more disciplined observers."

Solo Exhibition - Setting Up

Today was hanging day at The Museum of North Craven Life at The Folly in Settle. Took a couple of hours to get everything hung. I had a plan worked out before hand but this changed a bit as we were hanging the works. The exhibition runs until 17th November 2019. There are 21 prints in the exhibition, a mixture of Linocuts and mezzotints, mostly landscapes with a couple of wildlife prints. These are recent works made over the last couple of years and whilst some of these have been exhibited before this is the first time I have seen them hung together as a complete body of work. They are hung in a staircase climbing up to the top floor of the museum and are shown here as if ascending.

The bench on the landing in the bottom right was made by Robert Thompson of Kilburn. If you look closely you can just make out the carved mouse.
