About this artwork

Smither started this idea as a watercolour back in the 1970’s.

“Trolling through my papers decided to make a screenprint version as the image still haunted me 30 years later.

It wasn’t so straight forward as I expected & several sessions of redesigning, both in my internal dream visions of it and subsequent bouts of tracing paper versions & alterations to screens, here is the latest version 40 years later & still haunting my dreams.”
