In And Into The Forest I Go the bird stands for freedom, and the main character is a fox. The studio photograph all of the places they come across and use these memories to create new landscapes. They create landscapes in which they themselves would like to wake-up in, and in order to unwind, they like to retreat into nature. ![]() Studio Kars + Boom: And Into The Forest I Go Through their prints Studio Kars + Boom hope to escape from reality for a while. Along the Coastal Path is a multiblock linocut print carved into traditional grey lino and printed by hand with a wooden spoon onto Japanese HoSho paper. The piece is now available in yellow, green, lilac, and peach. Haychley experimented with adding colour to the print itself, and felt an abstract block of colour might work best. She was keen to include a rocky ground and the lovely coastal plants she kept seeing too. Stellabox: Along the Coastal Path “On holiday in Wales this summer there was a very curious blackbird who kept following us as we walked the Welsh Coastal Path- naturally he demanded to be made into a print,” says Haychley of Stellabox Designs. She chose the panther for its flexibility and its strength, but also for the contrast, like a shadow, with the forest in the background. For this print, Julie Miammmiam was inspired by the idea to show an animal as a playful spirit of the forest. The limited edition and signed print was presented at Supalife Gallery last summer for the Stattlab group exhbition. Julie Miammmiam: The Spirit The Spirit is a 3 colour hand-drawn and hand-printed screenprint, on A4 acid-free Dorée paper. The old cat version edition has since sold out, but Masy is currently in the process of making a new one. The dogs are pictured having a good ol’ time listening to the trumpet player. She tells us “I thought it was time for a dog version and transformed the fat cat smoking a cigarette to the smoking bulldog at the end of the bar”. The cat version was influenced by a painting she saw in a New Orleans, Louisiana bar of a fat cat holding a shot glass and smoking a cigarette. Each print is hand registered and each sheet of white Fabriano cotton paper is mono printed by hand using an oil based customised mix of a Pantone purple and white Relief / Masy Chighizola: Hair of the Dog “Sometimes you just need a little ‘hair of the dog’!” This 3 color linoleum reduction block print is inspired by a cat version that Masy Chighizola of Press Relief made years ago. This multilayered print features a majestic tiger that is adorned with a metallic gold halo, lounging over a bed of pink water lilies, and under a sky of vivid clouds which are embellished with a metallic blue lining and encapsulated with white detailing. The intricate details and colour palette are influenced by the rich, colourful, and embellished interiors of the Renaissance period, while also adding oriental elements which blend the aesthetics Rowena is inspired by from the east and west. Rowena Quill: Tropic Tropic is a screen printed edition inspired by Rowena Quill’s love of animals, the Year of the Tiger, and the beauty in nature.
