Winner of the President’s Award at the Society of Graphic Fine Art 104th Open Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London, 2025
The origins of this drawing and the photograph it was based on are quite involved and not very interesting, so let’s just say that I had this photograph, of piglets crowding to the newly-filled trough at Bucklebury Farm Park in Berkshire, and I thought that it would work very well with my scraperboard technique (and a limited palette).
The title is both a reference to the noise a delighted pig might make and an abbreviation of “squeeze”.
And my, what a delight a pig’s ear truly is!
