This year I was thrilled to be invited as the 2019 artist for the Behaviour and Attitudes/Graphic Studio Dublin Annual Commission. This collaboration between GSD and B and A has been running for more than 30 years. Each year Behaviour and Attitudes commission an artist to make a series of fine art prints which are editioned at Graphic Studio Dublin and given to B and A clients as a Christmas gift at the end of the year. I made a series of three etchings based around the theme of Shelter. The prints in the series use motifs familiar to my work - islands, mountains, dwellings. They suggest safety, shelter and containment. However these etched worlds also convey something of a sense of unease, with their dark brooding skies and shadowy waters. As part of the project Behaviour and Attitudes made a video about the process with Barry Lynch of Infocus Media, which you can see here.
