“I lived like a swallow for years, moving hemispheres – North to South – at the time I thought I was chasing an Endless Summer,” says London-based illustrator and artist Caroline Tomlinson. It was only after a period of standing still and reflecting, did the truth reveal itself; Caroline was seeking something far more important than sunshine and palm trees, she had been looking for a sense of truly belonging.
This feeling has become a new inspiration for her work. After years of travel and seeking out inspiration and adventures, Caroline finally found what truly matters; “A place where we belong. A place where we can witness pieces of our life finally coming together, people coming together, a true sense of finding your very own place in the world. It is a human need, which we all crave. To belong. To find your home. Be that somewhere or someone. And all the stories gathered along the way, each and every step it took to reach that destination. All the lessons learnt that helped up grow and keep moving forward. The importance of belonging.”
The collection includes two one-colour screen prints, North Bird and South Bird, stamped and signed by the artist in an edition of 50.
