I've been working on this print - the second in a series on West London gardens - on and off for a few weeks and it's very satisfying to now have it finished. I moved away from the half-tone technique of the last garden print and instead, layered shadows with different shades of green and black. I think the result is a more vivid, lush garden which is enclosed by the stark bars of the gate and fence. It was one of those pieces that looks utterly bizarre while in progress, before the final layer went down to lock everything in. It's a 4 layer piece, one 300 gsm paper and I'm looking forward to developing this series more and think further on the influence of these spaces on urban planning and urban life.
