Memory of Penwith, 2016

Memory of Penwith is a  signed, limited edition hand-finished silkscreen print with collage by artist Lucy Farley. Available individually or as part of The Living Stones series (featuring ‘Mines Towards Zennor’). Printed at Coriander Studio, published by CCA Galleries. 

Memory of Penwith is from Lucy Farley’s series of works The Living Stones, inspired by Cornwall's western peninsular. The title of the series is taken from the book by the Surrealist artist, poet and writer Ithell Colquhoun, who wrote about the interplay between mankind and the Cornish landscape.

"My work has consistently remained rooted in the observation and documentation of my immediate environment and the need to project 'particular emotional states' upon the surroundings that I am depicting, through the use of specific and symbolic imagery, be it the organic or man- made elements that make up our habitat. For The Living Stones, the landscape and its geology present fascinating formations of rocks and cliffs, hills and valleys and the mystical and fantastical emanate from this stark landscape, and its 'dramatic mythology'.” – Lucy Farley
