Hidden in the trees


Another of my little bookworks inspired by the ancient willows and the locks on the Stroudwater Canal. Handmade papers from the Himalayas serve as a wonderful substrate for my print designs.

Stroudwater Canal Wanderings

There are many interesting images in the Stroud Navigation Canal archive but these are the ones that particularly called out to me and I made work in response to weaving in my personal exploration of the psychogeography of the canal. My wandering is through time as well as space.
A very old map of the canal joining the River Severn. The outline of abundant willows along a canal bank in the nineteenth century which I know do not exist now. My contemporary print showing the wild water being tamed and used by the creation of the locks. A eighteenth century document working out the flow of water from the river into the proposed canal. The names of the locks in contemporary fonts. A handwritten document dated 1779.
