Originally inspired by a newspaper article about the seven top cemeteries of London: Highgate, Brompton, Kensal Green, West Norwood, Nunhead, Abney Park and Tower Hamlets. Built in Victorian times to accomodate an overflowing population.

About

This is an exhibition of original prints and drawings inspired by the seven top Victorian cemeteries in London.  All the cemeteries  have their own character and what I find most inspiring is the way life has a way of growing and overflowing where man has left his mark. Where ivy, weeds and a wide variety of wildlife meet cold stone monuments and urban decay.
Where footsteps of the past are echoes found broken and mingling with nature.
