Bewick’s Place explores the concept of home and place from various perspectives. The work was inspired by a visit to Cherryburn, a small stone cottage and farmhouse in Mickley, Northumberland, near the south bank of the River Tyne. Cherryburn, the birthplace of Thomas Bewick (1753–1828), wood engraver and ornithologist, now houses a museum dedicated to his life and works in the main house, along with a printing shop in the barn.
