Painted in rich shades of green and teal, with a touch of golden yellow, this piece is multi-layered and full of intrigue, compelling you to look closer. It started life completely intuitively, which is the way I start all of my work, with mark-making and a limited colour palette. The long-fingered leaves of a fern that grows on my kitchen windowsill was the inspiration and is incorporated in many ways, including collage, gelli-printing and drawn in ink.
