Thornielee from Elibank Craig
Looking back upstream. The engraved lino lines can show flow and current in a river and follow the contours of hills, the topography of the land. Interesting point: maps don`t generally show the direction of river flow
Similarly in the sky the medium  can suggest currents of the wind, movement in the ever evolving clouds, warm energy from the sun, and all described by lino lines, interconnecting all the elements.
I studied the view and my photographs until, like the low flying buzzard, I had puzzled how the land lay, how it folded together in 3 dimensions; could imagine myself walking, canoeing or gliding through the landscape.
Only then could I draw it and then print it
