Disappear
The ash tree is at risk from 'ash die-back' (chalara fraxinea), a disease that causes leaf loss and crown die-back and usually leads to the death of the tree. Some scientists are worried that, in addition, the ash may be at risk from a beetle called the emerald ash borer (agrilus planipennis).
This print, from a series of images created during artwork sessions for Radiohead's King of Limbs, alludes to both the tree itself - Yggdrasil, the Norse tree of knowledge - and the fact that Britain will lose an estimated 60% to 90% of its ash trees to the disease. There is a small hope that some strains of the species may prove resistant to the blight.
Paper size 580mm x 310mm, 5 colour screenprint on 270gsm stock.

The Master of Paddington
On Christmas Eve 1974 two young men painted the words FAR AWAY IS CLOSE AT HAND IN IMAGES OF ELSEWHERE on a wall outside Paddington railway station in London. The graffiti remained in one form or another until the end of the 20th century, and lingered in the minds of many of the millions of travellers who had glimpsed it. I named my 2013 exhibition in Soho after it, and was lucky enough to meet the two (no longer so young) men on the opening night. The graffiti was ascribed to 'The Master of Paddington' by Michael Wharton, writing as 'Peter Simple', in the Daily Telegraph.
