Description
New Publication
Sarah Gillespie makes mezzotint prints, an old, slow and painstaking method that produces unique velvet blacks and soft tones. Her work encourages us to refocus our gaze toward the everyday and the overlooked; moths, blackbirds and winter-suns. Her new publication, ‘The Same Blackbird’ has been made in collaboration with Alice Oswald, Oxford professor, poet and gardener to celebrate the quatercentenary of the Oxford Botanic Garden.
