I am inspired by the Miners Wives from the 1984-1985 strike. And also by the radical printmaker Paul Peter Piech, whose lino and woodcut prints advocated for social justice. As well as larger complex, often coloured, linocuts for exhibitions, he also produced many small, simpler black and white prints that could be sold more cheaply, making his art accessible to a wider audience. It’s in that spirit that I have made these three and I plan that they’ll be the first of many.
