About
Drawings, prints, and writing shaped by land, sea, and memory.
Julian Brasington works in drawing, print, and text. His hand-pressed prints and drawings respond to coastal and inland landscapes of North Wales — places that carry histories and quiet rituals. The work foregrounds material process and the residue of time, pairing stark mark-making with intimate observation. Selected exhibitions and publications are listed below.

Tales (excerpt)
What if I do not leave a mark
an act, a monument, a book
that someone would want to make
a book of me, a thing and say
