Welcome to the first available print in my new Abracadabra collection!
 
This print is created with 66 images from my original drawings, replacing each letter in the inverted triangle of the Abracadabra talisman. If you magnify the image of the attached completed talisman, you will see the individual drawings, starting at the tip (bottom) of the shape and moving upwards. 
 
This print is 30 x 30 cm 12 x 12" as it needs to be a little larger than the actual drawings to see the 66 drawings contained therein, and I hope you have fun finding them all! 
 
You can read about the making of the Abracadabra series, see the original drawings and what’s behind each image in my drawing section. 
 
Printed on mould made, acid free, archival fine art rag paper 190g/90Ib
 
These works are open prints and unframed.
 
These prints are a continuation of my Abracadabra series of drawing, an entirely new shift for me. The project has taken five years in the making and is still developing.
 
Creativity for me is about adapting and responding to circumstances so that I can keep making.  Not many can afford to buy original art in such times, and so I need change, to take a new direction in order to reach a more diverse public. This I hope to do by making my work as affordable as I can. That’s the fundamental idea behind me making these prints.
 
I have always actively sought and embraced change, which manifests in the diversity of my work. Many different projects and interests have fuelled my creativity over the years. This same need to move on, explore, discover and encounter has meant that travel has been a big part of my life for the last 20 years or so. I have set up makeshift studios in many different places and cultures, producing work directly from my environment and my headspace at the time. 
 
My 66Circles and this Abracadabra collection are examples of these travel-inspired works. Every one of the original 66 Abracadabra drawings leads to a print 1 - 66. Most were completed whilst travelling in 2017 - 2019 and at home during the worst of the covid years, taking 5 years to complete in 2022. 
 
All carry an influence on my surroundings and what was going on around me at that time, the colours, light, people, and places, along with my memories, moods and thoughts at that time. 
 
I hope you enjoy the work!
