Along the Sill to Sewingshields

One of my favourite sections of the Wall is the stretch to the east of Housteads heading towards Sewingshields crags. As I walked along the Wall one spring morning, the sun picked out the curving shelves of the escarpment and the shadow of clouds softened and heightened the colours as it danced slowly across the landscape.
Then the unmistakeable sound of a herd of curlews broke the silence. They seemed to be heading in the wrong direction; surely curlews belong on the North, wilder side of the Wall.

This image can be purchased in two main forms; as a single printed image, approximately A3 sized in a 50 x 40 mount or as a ‘composite image’ in which each section of the image is printed separately then mounted onto a back-board, approximately A2 sized in a 70cm x 50cm mount.

My work is currently being produced through drawing onto an iPad. The images are created by breaking down the composition into sectors, each of which is then drawn onto the iPad. I then download the images and create the final picture by attaching the images together. The gaps left between the images create a grid effect which is sometimes determined by the composition of the landscape and sometimes determined by the distribution of detail in the image.
