Drunken Cook




For my final year exhibition, I re-created some of the characters from Geoffrey Chaucers' collection of stories called 'The Canterbury Tales'. This is a lino print showing the cook character who Chaucer regarded as a merry soul who liked to sing, dance and have a drink. To portay this character in my own visual way I have printed the cook in a jolly drunken pose with him holding a wine bottle. This has given the cook a visually pleasing look with a touch of humour.
