Many a Mile to Go is a gorgeous linocut print by Gerry Coles. The words are from an old folk song she remembers from her childhood.
The fox went out on a chilly night,
He prayed for the moon to give him light,
For he'd many a mile to go that night,
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o,
He'd many a mile to go that night,
Before he reached the town-o.

Home is an exquisite, altered book sculpture by papercut artist Kate Hipkiss. Created from an atlas, it explores what a sense of home might mean: whether it is a sense of security and comfort or, particularly over recent years, a sense of confinement. The repetition and familiarity of the house form is in contrast to the multitude of associations the idea of home can evoke; is it a place, a person, a memory or a feeling?
