The Secrets of The Wood
There is a small wood on a low hill by the M6, just north of Lancaster
and driving south, on a late winters afternoon, if lucky and the skies are clear, the trees will be seen in all their beauty; like lace patterns, the dark forms cross and overlap against the light of the sky.

Using printing techniques on paper and Perspex, Karen has created images to capture the experience of that journey down the M6 and allow a glimpse into the private world of that wood.
