"The Hidden Pool" Woodengraving
The Hidden Pool, like almost all of my work, relates to a place that has special significance to me. I pass these trees most days. They make a graceful group. However, if one walks across the field to reach them, there is a small pool of water and the mood changes to a hidden and mysterious spot. I could not find a large endgrain block that I could afford where the wood was proven to come from a sustainable source so, rather than make the print smaller, I engraved on a from Lawrences of London, which I built up to type high with mdf.Print Australia Print Exchange

Jean Lodge: England
Characteristics of the American printmaker (now based in Paris and Oxford) Jean Lodge’s work are constant innovation, an extraordinary mastery of mixed techniques and a fascination with the human face. She was for 17 years Head of Printmaking at the Ruskin in Oxford, and has spent time in Japan with hand papermakers and printmakers. Now she concentrates on her own work, while giving workshops in the USA, in her Paris studio and on behalf of the gallery at our northern outpost at Castle Farm in Arkengarthdale.
