This print was commissioned for the Bradford Print Collection by OUR TURN art festival, part of Bradford City of Culture 2025. The concept of the collection was to honour Bradford’s Print heritage, through a set of six commissions that represent the vibrant printmaking sector in the city.

My print was inspired by the many viewpoints across Bradford, being the highest city in the UK.  These views are often overlooked, however they speak of our city geographically, socially and tell the story of our industrial heritage, which is why I wanted to celebrate them.  Lister Mills in particular is often a dominating presence, it was the largest Mill in the north, its workers also helped establish the Independent Labour Party.  In the centre of the image is Lister Park, which for years was home to the vibrant Bradford Mela, the first Mela to be held in Europe.

This print uses a different technique, layering handmade stencils, as well as process inks that have more transparency to see through the layers.
