Linoprint, Collage and Acrylic paint on handmade paper

The piece is made on handmade paper, made exclusively with copies of the Wanganui Chronicle and features inlaid elemets of a story from the paper about the Sarjeant Gallery. The prints are a composite of 3 works produced as individual prints ('H is for History', 'Outsider Art?' and "Hands Off our Patch"). The eels relate to the decline of the longfin eel population. While this piece is not about the issue of the missing 'H' in W anganui. The H issue is seen as a symptom of the discord between Maori and Pakeha in Wanganui and issues such as tagging and gang violence, therefore link to this issue.
