The discovery of a beautiful fern along the deeply shadowed forest path sparked the inspiration for this scratchboard piece. "Shivelight" is a word created by the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins to describe the lances of sunshine that pierce the canopy of a wood. That describes what magic we saw as we walked the woodland path, as glimmers of light fell on parts of the fern and the brilliant green moss below.
The work is completed with ink, water-soluble pencils and colored pencils.
