Locus amoenus ('pleasant place') is a literary term which refers to an idealized place of safety or comfort which generally has three basic elements: trees, grass, and water. Often it will be in a remote place and function as a landscape of the mind, and also a place of refuge from the processes of time and mortality. This last year has been a time of seeking such spaces, both real and imaginary, and a time for reflection and review. In this context, I have revisited a printed element in a previous project - Hortus Conclusus 'the enclosed garden' - which was inspired by research at Traquair House in the Scottish Borders. The works incorporated a motif reproduced (through photo lithography) from the embossed design of a book cover in the museum room at Traquair. The motif suggested the design and symbolism of an enclosed or walled garden to which I added a 'quartering of the world' and water at the heart of the space. This new work is a reworking of an unfinished piece from the earlier series, and is now overlaid with the concept of the locus amoenus and our current experiences in relation to seeking solace, enclosures and green spaces in the face of a global pandemic. I have layered additional monoprinting and oil paint onto the paper.
