Footnotes

Provenance
William Weston gallery, London.
Purchased from the above by the current owner.

Andrews' home county of Suffolk provided much inspiration for her work and this image was derived from Elmers Mill in the village of Woolpit. By placing the viewer at a low vantage point and employing sweeping lines to highlight the rotating sails, Andrews conveys a great sense of movement and drama. The strong vibrant colours of this impression serve to emphasize the continuous rhythmic motion.
