No. 3 Elliot Harrison “Two Sunny Prints of Fishergate Postern Tower” 1.2024 A Giclee print
Artist’s note:
I took my inspiration from photographs and sketches to ‘digitally paint’ these views of the tower, bringing out the graphic potential of the scenes with a bright and positive feel about them.
I try to create images that people can enjoy, using a simple and colourful palette, so they have the feel of traditional screen-printing though created using the power of digital tools.
From the digital image, giclee prints are produced which replicate the colours with accuracy and vibrance.

FoYW’s note:
We think this is the “substanciall posterne at Fyshergate” which records say was decided on in 1502. Posterns were gateways through the city walls which were smaller than those called ‘bars’. They were usually guarded by a single tower. York has lost all its other posterns. This view is along the city walls from outside them so it shows the tower’s defensive walls with just 2 slit windows; the windows immediately under the roof were probably once battlements with a fighting platform and low roof behind them.
