The artist said: "The exhibition is, I think, unique in showing exclusively an entire ensemble of newly created wood engravings.

"It had been a cherished and enduring dream that I might one day have the wherewithal and the time to produce a thematic series of prints, a body of fresh new engravings which I could steadily assemble and eventually publish in totum, preferably in the form of a beautifully made book: but further I wanted to create images that would be strong enough also to justify their presentation in an exhibition.

Colin See-Paynton: Of a Feather - An Avian Alphabet, runs at Oriel Ynys Môn from Saturday 16 April to Sunday 5 June 2011. There will also be an opportunity to meet the artist at the gallery on the opening day of the exhibition between noon and 2pm - contact the gallery for further details.
