This print dates to 1990 just after Jane graduated with a BA in drawing in painting at the ECA, and whilst she was completeing her postgraduate year. This work dates to this time and it is an Artist's Proof - inscribed in pencil A/P.
This linocut would be a very personal one to Jane. She was brought up in Mid Lothian. She still lives there and has studio there as well. Jane has a strong interest in the industrial side of Scotland and Midlothian which stems from her family history. Several of her ancestors worked in a Prestonholm flax mill.
In a recent interview Janes has stated that her work was concerned with place, topography, the natural work and how people occupy and have worked in particular locations. All the places on this map have a rich history of industry and manufacturing.
My linocut has a nice fresh acid-free window mount and new frame. It is excellent condition and ready just to hang on your wall. Dimensions. The frame is 35.5 x 27.5 cm. The image size is 19 x 14 cm. All this is reflected in my asking price - which is a very fair one for one of Hyslop's early linocuts and from such a same edition.
It will be carefully packed and sent to you across the UK with Parcelforce24. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
