Risograph print featuring 6 lino print designs of birds on Munken Lynx paper
Dimensions: 297 x 420mm (A3)
Paper weight: 170gsm
Edition of 20 prints

There are many bird species in Britain that we often mistake as native to our shores. But if we begin to investigate and question the presence of some birds we discover that they were introduced centuries ago, through colonialism or as pets that escaped. These bird populations have grown in number over the years and become ubiquitous. They are a part of Britain’s rich biodiversity that we embrace in a way that those with anti-migrant sentiments sadly don’t when it comes to humans. 

This print features 6 lino print designs of non-native British birds next to a collection of ancient neolithic British artefacts. The pairing of the birds with these artefacts is intended to question how we determine what constitutes and is accepted as British. Even when we look as far back as the neolithic period, art and ideas were beginning to be shared by people from across Ireland and Europe into Britain.

List of birds featured in the print include:

1. Mandarin duck, introduced as an ornamental bird by the victorians.

2. Common pheasant, first introduced in roman times.

3. Egyptian goose, introduced in the 17th century with free-flying flocks established on private estates.

4. Little owl, introduced by the victorians and first recorded in 1824.

5. Red-billed leiothrix, a subtropical songbird from southeastern asia with small populations in wiltshire and somerset. most likely pets kept as cagebirds that escaped.

6. Rock dove, from which feral pigeons descend, were domesticated in england around the time of the Norman invasion.

This print is part of a series ‘Dreaming of Albion’, which advocates for a reimagining of British identity that is rooted in nature and ancient traditions, embracing our diversity and entangled histories. 

Additional information:

• There are a few very small differences between each print due to the nature of risograph printing.

• The colours may differ slightly from your monitor.

• All prints are sold unframed.

Dowsing (or divining) is the art of locating hidden sources, commonly water, objects and the ley lines by the use of an indicator such as a v-shaped hazel stick or a pair of l-shaped metal rods.

Ley lines are the alignments believed to connect ancient sacred sites across landscapes. These invisible energy paths are said to link megalithic monuments, churches, standing stones, and natural features in a straight line, carrying powerful earth energies.

The ring-necked parakeet has many legends surrounding how it arrived in London. People say that they escaped a film set, others that Jimi Hendrix owned a pair and released them on Carnaby Street. However they got here, they’ve flourished in London and spread to other UK cities to grace us with their vibrant flashes of green.

They’re originally from Northern India and Pakistan. They join the many other Brits of South Asian descent in London who live in the capital and across the UK. Despite their increasing numbers, they’ve been known not to cause a decline in biodiversity, although some have called for culls because of accusations they impact the habitat of other species of birds. The ring-necked parakeet can be seen as the poster bird of multiculturalism in Britain and a celebration of it’s diversity.

My print captures the colourful parakeet amongst a trees blossoms through 14 different layers of colour. Parakeets like to create their nests in tree hollows. They’re renowned for their loud squawks that some find shrill and annoying. I’m personally a fan of their brashness. Squawk away Parakeets. Keep on being your brilliant selves!

Additional information:

• These prints are all handmade, so they will differ slightly in appearance to the images shown here. All of the background colours of the blossoms in these prints will vary slightly due to the way in which I’ve applied the ink in a painterly fashion. I like to think that add to part of the charm of the editions!

‘A rose is a rose is a rose’ is a line from Gertrude Stein’s poem ‘Sacred Emily’. Stein was an American writer, poet and art collector who hosted a Paris salon where leading figures of modernism would meet, including Picasso, Hemingway and Matisse.

The rose carries a lot of weight as a cultural symbol. Stein believed that sometimes a word can perfectly encapsulate the thing it refers to. The word rose alone is able to conjure it’s form, colour and scent in our minds. Sometimes things simply are what they are and don’t need further description.

My lino print design features a blind embossed rose with Stein’s quote circling it. I recommend hanging the print in an area with good natural light to ensure the embossing is clear. The design will also change with the moving sunlight and shadows.

Red Kites (Milvus milvus) were extinct in England until a reintroduction program saw them gain in numbers in both Scotland and England. While they’re considered birds of prey, they’re actually carrion birds. Despite their impressive wing span, they are actually surprisingly light, weighing less than a duck. 

In Celtic lore the Red Kite was seen as a harbinger of good fortune. It bore a connection to the goddess Brigid, who embodied healing and fertility. Notably, kites were recognised for their lifelong partnerships, thus becoming a symbol of faithfulness within relationships.

The Children of Lir is an old legend from Irish mythology. The story goes that King Lir’s wife had died after bearing him four children – a daughter, Fionnghuala, who was the eldest, and three sons, Aodh, Fiacra and Conn. Lir later married Aoife, who grew jealous of her husband’s love for his children.

One day she lured them away from their father and cursed the children to travel the land for nine hundred years in the form of swans: three hundred years on Loch Dairbhreach, three hundred more on Sruth na Maoilé, and another three hundred on Lorrus Domnann and Inishglora. It wasn’t until the nine hundred years were over, when they reached Inishglora, that their curse was finally lifted by a holy man. They returned to their human form, dying in ancient, withered bodies, put to rest on the island.

All proceeds from the sale of these prints will be donated to Doctors Without Borders to support their crucial ongoing medical work treating patients of the Gaza genocide and victims in other areas of conflict across the Middle East. Gaza’s health system has been completely destroyed, so it’s vital that humanitarian organisations such as Doctors Without Borders can continue their work in the area.

The Palestine sunbird (Cinnyris osea) was declared the national bird of Palestine in 2015 after the Israeli authorities tried to change its name in their efforts to erase Palestinian identity. The male bird has a distinctive metallic blue and green plumage.

My print features the bird perched on an olive branch. Olive trees are a vital source of agriculture and sustenance for many Palestinian families. They are a symbol of peace and Palestinian rootedness in their land as they come under constant threat of destruction by Israeli settlers.

A murmuration is a synchronised flight of birds, often involving hundreds of thousands, that occurs during their migration. This aerial dance is a safety measure against predators, creating a confusing, swirling mass that makes it difficult for a bird of prey to target an individual bird. The flocks gather at dusk before roosting together in large groups for the night.
