I am intrigued by paintings of the ‘annunciation’.  The christian god sends an angel to ‘announce’ that the virgin Mary will bear a holy child. This is a moment when two worlds touch, spiritual and mundane. It is a meeting of myth and matter, imagination and reality.   

These screen-prints reduce three versions to their basic structure.  The architecture is shown by white lines on a flat background. The virgin silhouette is printed with mud from the estuary of the river Lune, and the angel with transparent silver ink.
