The robins nesting in our garden are always taking a close interest at whatever we are up to, waiting for each worm to be unearthed and, since they’re always pretty vocal whilst they’re sat watching us, I’m sure they’re telling us to get a move on and uncover some more! I find robins quite comforting and uplifting little birds, even though they are usually being quite bossy; I remember gardening with my great uncle when I was growing up and one would often land on the garden fork handle to watch us, so now they remind me of him. However, the robin featured here, was sitting fluffed up on the edge of a riverbank, on an icy cold winter day at Glendalough, Ireland; a vivid burnt-red tinged fluffball amongst the stark bare branched shrubs and overgrazed grass, calmly watching the world go by, whilst the freezing cold water of the Poulanass river raced over the rocks in front of him with the ruins of the monastery in the valley just beyond. I recreated this chap using carefully selected, mono-printed, textured and recycled papers which I have cut, shaped, inlaid and slotted together to fit like a tightly fitting mosaic or tiled floor.

How to flatten rolled art prints: keep them in their clear protective sleeve and gently unroll them, laying them on a hard, flat surface and laying heavy, flat items, such as heavy books, in an even layer on top.
