A1 Fine Art Poster: The Spinney

£25.00

The Spinney – an Arts Council funded project – enabled the artist Rachael Adams to research narrative in the liminal spaces of edgeland landscapes.

The Spinney – the almost unnoticeable thicketty cluster of trees; overgrown, neglected and fly-tipped – grows in the gaps of the Edgelands, alongside the recreation grounds, the garages, the allotments and the verges.

Venture into The Spinney and you wander into a hidden space… free from surveillance, control and order, free of supervision, free to play and imagine, to climb and discover, free to be free.

And on emerging from The Spinney, as the return is made to rejoin the thrum, the world is viewed through an adventurer’s eyes.

DeanLand embraces and celebrates The Deans: the fringe areas known as Hollingdean, Bevendean, Woodingdean, Ovingdean, Rottingdean and Saltdean, that circle the geographical basin that is Brighton and Hove, on the Sussex South Downs.

Dean (dene), is usually a corruption of denu, which, in old English, meant a valley, especially one that is narrow and wooded.

International paper size: A1, 594mm x 841mm. Unframed.

Description

The DeanLand poster is printed on affiche paper. Affiche is a woodfree white paper, which has a weight of 115gsm. It is hard-wearing, weather-proof and has a matt coating on one side. The blue rear side prevents whatever is behind the paper from showing through the poster once it has been pasted up; the paper’s translucent basis and its UV resistance make it particularly suitable for outdoor use.

Rachael Adams designs graphic work with a strong focus on typography and expressive graphical compositions.
