Number 17 in an Edition of 33, signed and dated by the artist. Handmade paper, pulp painting, collage book that is housed in a corrugated cardboard case with green linen ties. "This book is my response to a journey I recently made to Cornwall. The title I borrowed from Barbara Hepworth. Being both physically and emotionally inspired by the geographical area she called pagan landscape, which lies between St.Ives, Penzance and Land's End...the seven pages are equivalent to the seven days of the week I spent there, and they are all hand-made paper. The different shades of green are to suggest the changing and casting of light on the fields. Dried grass taken from the landscape are embedded in one of the pages..."--enclosed leaflet.
