DescriptionThis print is inspired by a small island called Muuratsalo on lake Päijänne, Finland. In the early 1950s, the architect Alvaar Alto designed a home on the western shore of the island. It is now regarded as an experimental study of materiality, architectural construction and philosophy. In 2014 Drummond wrote: ‘… the interplay between natural and architectural forms that occurs frequently in my work is obviously an exploration of the idea of that binary sort of attitude that underpins much of European thought, as well as taking pleasure in the formal, pictorial manifestation of that same duality. I think fundamentally all the works are probably an attempt to grasp at some half remembered vision of balance in world.’
