Bookseller Notes

Derived from sketches of animal sculptures and painted ceramics in the Ashmolean Museum, Sutcliffe's elegant images were inspired by 'the linear purity of ancient rock art and the incised decoration on Greek vases... There is an echoing focus on the essence of the subject without getting bogged down in the detail of surface. Shape and line are everything.' (Artist's note)
