Description
Out walking on the moors one day, I came across a beautiful black faced ram with curly horns. We stood looking at one another for a long few seconds sizing each other up, I was in awe but I doubt if he was! And as he turned his head to walk away I noticed one of his horns was packed full of the moorland flora … bracken, gorse, heather and hawthorn. I didn’t get long to see it but the vision was imprinted on my memory in technicolour clarity. In that moment I felt humbled, and honoured to be in his presence, as if I had been allowed into a secret world, the otherworld.
There are 4 versions of this lino print. All are variable limited editions in either Japanese plant paper or UK recycled both acid free and vegan. (Please contact me if you have a preference)
10 of the gold, 10 of the gold horns, 50 coloured, and 50 black and white.
The gold is an alloy of zinc and copper metal leaf, shinier than gold! There is a protective varnish painted onto the metal leaf to prevent tarnishing.
The gold horns are painted in non tarnish Liquid Metal ( brass) .
The flora is painted in gouache and the prints are printed in oil based safe wash vegetable inks.
The size of the image is A3 with a clean border around it signed with the edition number.
It is unframed (the framed picture is for display idea only) .
I print my larger Linos using my feet and the back of a spoon.
