About
Mollie Pearce is a printmaker specialising in reduction linocut printmaking, creating layered works inspired by British landscapes and the visual language of early 20th-century travel posters. Her practice draws on the bold shapes, simplified forms, and graphic composition found in vintage travel poster design, combining these influences with contemporary observation of place.
While her prints often depict well-known or iconic destinations, she is equally interested in the subtle, often overlooked details within them. Her work explores the relationship between place, memory, and everyday experience, moving between familiar tourist locations and quieter, lesser-seen spaces.
She focuses on the small elements that give a landscape its character—boats along a harbour, coastal huts, independent shops, pubs, cafés, and restaurants. These details act as anchors of familiarity, reflecting how people move through and remember places in lived, personal ways.
Her work aims to evoke recognition in the viewer, connecting visual imagery to individual memory. A pub, café, or everyday street scene becomes a point of shared experience, encouraging audiences to reflect on their own relationships with place and the spaces they inhabit or return to.
