A talk and display to accompany a new Blake-inspired artist’s book and series of prints, Ah! Sunflower!
About
The Swedenborg Society and the Blake Society present the launch of a new artist’s book and print series, with accompanying talk and display.
Celebrating the launch of her new Blake-inspired artist’s book and series of prints, Ah! Sunflower!, this evening will see artist and printmaker Linda Landers in conversation with leading independent Blake scholar Keri Davies, in an event co-organized by the Blake Society and the Swedenborg Society.
Linda has long had a close connection with the work of William Blake, drawing inspiration from his poetry, to develop her own series of engravings, prints and fine press books. Linda will introduce the audience to her work, accompanied by a slideshow of imagery as well as physical displays of her artworks and books in the very apt surroundings of Swedenborg House’s Grade II-listed neoclassical Hall and Wynter Room. In conversation with Blake scholar and historian, Keri Davies, Linda will look at how Blake has influenced her practice, in particular the Songs of Innocence and Experience—are these songs merely nursery rhymes or a unique tool to inform, to teach or to elevate consciousness?
