Machen: Deserted Allotment

This linoprint is part of a series of prints inspired by the landscape around Machen and the village itself. Machen is located near Caerphilly in the Mid Glamorgan district of South Wales with its many remains of the old coal mining industry. Every village has allotments. After the harvest season the gardening paraphernalia are put away for the winter. Straight beanpoles and round water butts create a combination of interesting lines in an otherwise quite empty landscape – an attractive motif for a black and white linoprint.

Original hand-pulled linoprint, black printing ink on paper. Limited edition. Print size 21 x 30cm. Comes with a double mount.
