DescriptionThis print, ‘Lake Eden’ is inspired by a building on Black Mountain College campus, an experimental liberal arts college in North Carolina. Open for just 24 years from 1933 to 1957, it played an important role in the development of Modernism in America. 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."Inscriptionlower left: 26/40
