A View to Manningham and Lister Mills - Sarah Harris

£70.00

Screenprint - limited edition of 50

This print was inspired by the many viewpoints across Bradford, being the highest city in the UK.  These views are often overlooked, however they speak of our city geographically, socially and tell the story of our industrial heritage, which is why I wanted to celebrate them.  Lister Mills in particular is often a dominating presence, it was the largest Mill in the north, its workers also helped establish the Independent Labour Party.  In the centre of the image is Lister Park, which for years was home to the vibrant Bradford Mela, the first Mela to be held in Europe.

About the Artist

Sarah Harris from Shipley creates limited edition landscape screen prints of her home county of Yorkshire and beyond.  Each piece uses an original drawing as a basis which gives it its distinctive style, and all the prints are hand pulled by the artist in her Leeds studio.  Harris's work shows locations in a way that have been influenced by her memories and connections with the space, and she is especially interested in the balance between human and nature's influence on our landscapes.
