This print was created in conjunction with the Glasgow Print Studio 50th Anniversary Here & Now Legacy Project. "During the first lockdown in 2020 I decided to take the opportunity to study Milton’s 'Paradise Lost', which is an account of the creation story and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise. This led to my making a series of monoprints towards a show in July 2021 at the Glasgow Print Studio, 'Shadowfall'.
The images for this show were drawn from a series of photographs I took from our balcony of people exercising along the river Clyde at Finnieston, focussing particularly on the shadows that were cast, that memorably sunny May in 2020. I made a collage from several of the monoprints which became the basis for the digital image. The legend is screenprinted."
