JILLY CRAGG

I am a visual artist, and my art practice is print-based and predominately focuses on trees and the hidden beauty of them. I am interested in the notion of how our well-being can be improved by spending time in nature and our relationship to trees. Due to Covid 19 lockdowns, I was able to use my daily exercise to my advantage and spent much time in local woodlands, observing, documenting, and relaxing. I make intaglio prints of isolated images of different parts of the tree to show beauty from all aspects of the tree, even if it looks "ugly".
