By the River – Bovey Valley Woods

An early gelliprint from my series towards my '25 for 25 Moor Trees’ Crowdfunder, and one that I held back from the original rewards – I guess partly because I liked it too much!

I think because it captures that riparian essence of being so alive, and the sunburst in this instance. The use of bicarbonate of soda just before printing to capture this really helped.

£25 of any sale will be donated to Moor Trees, as was the original intention for the Crowdfunder

In 6 weeks, we raised £1,091 through sales of 26 monoprints at £25 each that I specifically created for this project, which all celebrate our unique temperate rainforests across the UK. All of the print sales funds went directly to support Moor Trees' mission to restore Dartmoor’s lost native woodlands through community-powered seed collection, tree growing and volunteer planting. 🌱
