Beside the Canal

unique lino print on paper
72 x 91cm

There is a place to walk, south of Marion Street along the canal, where there is an arcade of fig trees reaching over the curving path, giving shelter from the sun. The white trunks and branches stand out from the dark shadows, twist and bend. The roots protrude from the leaf mulch. There are reflections of trees in the water. Beside the canal away from the traffic, there is a bike rider, a dog walker, a person lost in thought. This path along the canal is a link to another place, the natural world.
