These prints were originally commissioned by Aimee and Monroe Price, a well known American art historian and her lawyer husband. They enabled me to buy a press and to stock up with plates and other printmaking paraphernalia. They possess three complete editions of the ninety one prints. One complete edition is in the Print Room at the British Museum where a selection from it was exhibited. The complete framed edition has been exhibited twice, in Southwell Minster and the North Light Gallery, Huddersfield.

On receiving the prints into the British Museum’s Print Room Anthony Griffiths, Head of Prints and Drawings wrote. “It is a most extraordinary and impressive achievement and we are very glad to have it in the department as one of the major monuments of British print making in recent times”.

While I was working on the prints I composed a poem called “From Two Lives”. Each print had a religiously inspired meditation on the subject and an account of something that had recently happened to me. In this way I hoped to show some relation between interior meditation and everyday events.

I made twelve complete editions of these prints and three proofs of each, some of which were really early states. I now have three complete editions left and available, one of which is framed and in part on show in this exhibition as well as many proofs which are also available.

Works in numerous public and private collections.

During the last five years I have made many drawings and paintings, both in gouache and acrylic. Maybe I have been attempting to integrate the demands of intellect and feeling.

At the back of my mind there has always been the hope that I could paint large pictures – like those I saw in Italy that tell stories and decorate churches – recently I have been producing them.

For a brief moment I saw seven of these large paintings in a beautiful church during the St Stephen’s festival. Only for a moment, but a thousand years is also a ‘moment’. “And now under circumstances that seem unpropitious” ….. we carry on.
