For my final year exhibition, I recreated some of the characters from Geoffrey Chaucers' collection of stories called 'The Canterbury Tales'. This picture portrays the 'Shipman' character, of whom Chaucer regards as a rich merchant. This led me to the idea of portraying the shipman as a dark scheming pirate who steals gold. This lino print is around 2m in height and 1m in width. It is one of my proudest pieces of work which I have hanging on my bedroom wall.
