Story behind Country Life

The Country Life Project


During Lockdown, Mark reflected on ideas from his two exhibitions. 


Whilst reading about the publisher and printer Edward Hudson and his relationship with the architect Edwin Lutyens.


Mark started to wonder.


After undertaking research over a couple of weeks, he developed several ideas, which resulted in the artwork to the right.



Presented to Country Life magazine to celebrate 125 years in business.
