My time in London was very educational, what with the London illustration fair and then this. The M.C. Escher exhibition in Dulwich picture gallery. My cousin works there and managed to get us some tickets to see the exhibition, which was great because tickets weren't cheap as it was a private display. I didn't expect to love it as much a I did. The last time I studied his work must have been when I was about 14, when I perhaps didn't understand the complexity of his practice.
His woodcut images were exceptional! Given that we are printing at the moment, and can now understand how difficult things like lino are, it puts it all into perspective.
His geometrical work and repeated patterns were mind blowing. Absolutely loved it and made me realise I need to go to more things like this, because I came back to Leeds feeling completely inspired after an art filled weekend.
