FORSTER's
watercolours and linocuts reflect the artist's passion for flowers,
dramatic light and shadow. Sometimes the image comes from a chance
encounter, as seen in the highly skilled linocuts of sunlit doorways,
but more often her subject matter is careful arrangements of flowers
and favourite objects such as lace cloths and jugs.
Rosalind
