This is an artists' exploration, in words and strong, dramatic images, of the particular and personal vision that not only generates his creative power but also provides the subject matter for his works of art and usually dictates the physical form in which they will appear. For Bert Isaac, well-known as a watercolourist as well as a printmaker, the elements that have gone most deeply towards the formation of his 'landscape within' are the abandoned slate quarries of Wales and the sea, with its edges and boundaries. He examines these elements of his childhood memory in this work, along with thoughts about earlier artists and about printmaking techniques. The fifteen relief prints are cut on wood, lino and masonite and are of great originality, power and beauty.
