It was a real honour for me to create two 'storytelling backdrops' for the Westcountry Storytelling Festival, knowing that these would set the scene for the stories that would be told before them. It was a chance for me to do what I love most - bridge the verbal world of storytelling with the world of pictures, imagery and symbolism, allowing the listener's imagination to travel into the visual realm... Screens were made on the festival's theme of "Patterns under the Plough". Each screen features a collaged landscape made of William Morris prints, beneath a starry sky and moon - one screen based on dawn, one on dusk.
