The Todd's Rodden

'The Todd's Rodden' is an original, signed, limited edition intaglio etching with aquatint by Audrey Kyle.

Inspired by a story recorded in the original history of Islandmagee written by Dixon Donaldson - A clever fox outwitted the hunt by jumping off the Gobbins Cliffs and grasping a whin bush with its jaws, so as to swing into its lair on the cliff face, meanwhile the hounds on his heels crashed to their death below. Eventually the local huntsman Mr Mckeen discovered the cunning fox's plan, cut the branch and Mr Todd also perished.

This story occurred on the farm where I live and my very old farm deeds show the field closest to the cliff top titled “The Todd’s Rodden”.

This artwork is an etching with aquatint. It was created using a copper plate, acid baths, rosin and ink then the finished product is created using an old original printing press located in Belfast Print Workshop.

This artwork comes in a black, composite bevelled frame in a hayseed mount.
