With his epic painterly aquatints of the far edges of the British Isles, Norman Ackroyd captures the ever-changing atmosphere of the landscapes he visits. But like all of us, his usual plans were disrupted by the pandemic – something that’s seen him reach for his sketchbooks to explore his earlier trips, remembering the ebb and flow of being out on the water and the salty wash of the sea. 

We visited Norman at his central London studio, along with Eames Fine Art gallery owner Rebecca Eames, and discussed his tools, techniques and travels.

I recently caught up with founder of Black Women of Print, Tanekeya Word, to see how their collective and individual projects have been developing.

In these times of protest and pandemic, it feels as important as ever to share the original article featuring this fabulous group of artists, along with my catch up with Tanekeya, some links to videos, podcasts, behind the scenes images of the artists studios and more.

As the original article title states, we all need to ‘educate & empower’ - I hope that this article (which we featured originally in issue 6 of Pressing Matters) and the extra content help to do just that.
