ABOUT THE ARTIST Mark has been a professional photographer for 26 years and discovered lino printing in 2019 after photographing many creatives and longing to find a traditional craft he could turn his hands to. Mark's work combines his love for the coast and countryside with some retro chic thrown into the mix. His work can best be described as nostalgic; from his memories of growing up by the sea in Cornwall to the things he loves in life from music, coffee, bicycles and photography. “My photography always returned to the idea of a good life: the artisans who still make and work in a natural, hands-on way. Fishermen, bakers, makers: I wanted to claim that analogue life for myself, and traditional printmaking offered me the opportunity.” – Mark Lord www.linolord.com
