Ofili visited various locations in North Wales in September 1996 and produced a series of richly patterned abstract etchings which responded to his experience of each place. This print may carry associations with the rock formations of the Snowdonian Mountains surrounding the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, whilst also being resonant of African decorative designs and his interest in pattern which characterises much of Ofili’s work.
