David Blackwood - Canadian Inspiration

It was an absolute pleasure to meet David Blackwood when he visited us at The Art Centre at Central Technical School to give an artist talk. I was astonished by his work, his etchings in particular. They inspired me to push myself further within my own print work. He was also an amazing storyteller and had me captivated from the beginning. This print always resonated in my mind. I couldn't believe that on the East Coast towns' people used to actually uproot and drag entire houses across the snowy terrain for miles to their new location, sometimes taking months to do so.
