"Medival marginalia are creatures found in the margins of illuminated manuscripts. I've added stars to the many headed tail, and a fire flourish. this is a jigsaw block where both colours are cut out, inked up separately and then printed together."

A lover of the natural world, Cally's prints are inspired by nature and folklore. She is based in London, but is constantly drawn to the beauty of nature and its place within the world. She began producing etchings and collagraphs at art college, and came to linocut printmaking much later. She really fell in love with the process of linocut; something about the carved line as a way to translate her sketches, and to explore pattern and texture.
