‘It is enormously exciting and a great honour to have been awarded The Hepworth Wakefield Print Fair Prize, 2021. Making prints on my own, from my studio in Derbyshire, particularly during this last very difficult year, has been a solitary experience. It is extremely encouraging to have this recognition that others think what I do, might be worth looking at. I am a frequent visitor to The Hepworth, enjoying the exciting visual work shown there in a beautiful space.’ Jeremy James
