Dogs Shiver and Boys Run is an etching with aquatint, made and editioned by the artist, Martin Ridgwell in 2020. Printed on Somerset Satin paper. The title comes from George Barker’s poem; Battersea Park which conversely describes a winters day in a city, but this particular line so well describes boys running madly on a beach and their dogs trembling after a dip in the sea that I had to use it.
