Duncan Montgomery is a printmaker from the North-East of England, now based in London, who uses figurative wood engraving to explore antiquarian subjects. His most recent project is part of a series of prints made in collaboration with the cultural historian George Townsend on historic bathing places in England, including the bathing ponds on Hampstead Heath and Parson’s Pleasure, a centuries-old bathing place in Oxford that was closed in the 1990s. These prints explore the lost meanings of these sites, referencing early photography and Greek statuary. Prints from this series have been shown at the RA Summer Exhibition, at annual exhibitions of the Society of Wood Engravers, and at Woolwich in previous years.
