PRINTS

Curated by Katja Rosenberg - exhibitions.weebly.com/ valencehousecollections.co.uk/
The prints below are based on research relating to The Abbey Kapok Manufacturing Company Limited. They are silkscreen with digitally printed and collaged images.
Print 1 has a collaged image of the Souvenir Guide that was produced in Dagenham for the 1951 Festival of Britain and can be found in the Archives at Valence House.
Print 2 has collaged images of the pods from the Bombax Malabarica tree which is native to India. I photographed these from pods I bought in a pet shop. The collaged tree images are those from photographs taken of the tree at Kew Gardens.
