Etheldreda, the founder of the first Abbey in Ely was also known as Audrey and this lino print on paper is my interpretation of the story of a woman so fierce she founded a city. I see her as the island itself, submerged in the water the way Ely once was and the sky full of stars signifies her incredible destiny. She is surrounded by the eels that are also so much a part of the city's history that it was named after them.
