Local artist, Duncan Pass's interest in printmaking is primarily relief printing and woodcut which don't require any chemicals, meaning the process is safe and non-toxic and there's no poisonous waste to dispose of, or any need for specialist safety equipment. He employs drypoint methods as well as using chisels and drills.
Describing this print, he says:
"Accidents and fatalities were sadly an accepted part of mining life, with many well-documented disasters occurring over the years. I wanted to pay tribute to the miners whose lives have been lost doing this difficult and dangerous job, in a way that shows the strong sense of brotherhood between the men who worked down the pits."
