The Hare: A Symbol of Belonging and Home
This hare study explores how line direction, texture, and negative space work together in relief printmaking. By drawing in a woodcut style, the image tests how grass, fur, and light can be simplified into marks that will carve cleanly in lino or wood.
The Watchful One
The hare anchors the project as a figure of staying. In contrast to migratory birds, it remains within the Canterbury landscape, exposed yet persistent. Across the series, it moves from presence to trace, reflecting belonging as something formed through time and attention rather than ownership.
