The isolated stand of trees is a feature of the English landscape and a powerful motif in myths and legends. One can almost imagine the trees coming to life! In this piece I aimed to capture the silhouette of the huddled trees against the strong colours of the fading light. 
 
I used rollers and dabbers to spread out the ink then made marks with a cloth and other tools. I built up layers of over-lapping colous by printing serveral times. I incorporated textures by impressing inked up wallpaper and fabric. I also used paper stencils to make the crisp edges.
