john dilnot

now we've finally finished a room we've been able to begin un(bubble)wrapping some of the art that's been stored in the loft since we moved into the house two years ago. the print on the wall in the grey room is by john dilnot. in fact we have three of his screenprints; birds, beetles and garden pests. in a demonstration of our almost telepathic levels of connectedness m and i bought the birds and beetles for each other for valentines (this was in our childless, dual income, moneyed days!). they remind me of the boxes of pin-stuck insects in the manchester museum.

i would love to own one of the box pieces, this one is particularly beautiful. it's called 'somewhere and nowhere'.
