'Harbour Gulls' hand pulled 6 colour screen print by Fiona Hamilton. Printed on Fabriano Rosaspina printmaking paper. Paper measures 50cm x 35cm approx. Features hand torn deckled edges. Signed, titled and numbered by the artist. Edition of 22.
This screen print illustrates a flock of seagulls in flight on a bright blue sky with delicate halftone photographic clouds. It's a print from Fiona's series of screen prints over Bristol Harbour. Also featured is one of the goods cranes in front of the M Shed which are an historic and popular feature of the floating harbour.
This series came about during lockdown when she would go for walks around the harbour. In those strange days, very few cars on the road and people avoiding each other, seagulls would fly overhead and became the focal point of the walks.
