Chris Moody writes: Born and brought up in South London I have lived and worked here nearly all my life. I started printmaking about fifteen years ago and am a keyholder at Thames-side Print Studios. I have exhibited in the Leicester City Open, Fishslab Gallery Whitstable, Greenwich Open Studios and was shortlisted for the RA Summer Exhibition this year.

I divide my work between drawing and etching tonally and colour work in linocut.

Much of my work is based on memories of holidays in Wales as a child,or early travels as a student. I still travel a lot. Buildings in landscape or mirrored in wateris a major theme, and the passage of time leaving the merest traces of past cultures and industry. I hope I convey something of the excitement of my first encounters in what I produce, often much later, after soaking them in memory and reflection.
