Dogwoods I - Dogwood Bush

Soft Ground Etching Plate Size: 7.5cm x 9.5cm

Part of The Dogwood Barks series - studies of a poodle-bush.

DOGWOOD BUSH is one of five plates in the 'Dogwood Barks' series of etchings. It is a bush - who is a dog ... or the other way round. If this bush were a dog - it would be pulling the leash tight.

Sioban has made several pieces of sculpture of Tree People. It only seemed fair that they should have pets - just as the trees have little bushes who dance around them to keep them cheerful. The Dogwood Barks were inspired by an eccentric and unkempt little Poodle called Vicky.
