Each sentence inspires a different response and application.
Final outcomes are required, be they something to cherish, sacrifice, and inspire devotion or an item that’s playful, useful or symbolic.

During the three-week residency in Bower Ashton’s printmaking department Fowler will be working with woodcut, rubberstamps and etched lino.
