A six colour reduction linocut, with the final layer printed in metallic ink. One of my most ambitious prints to date due to its complexity, only 7 are available in either gold or silver. The final layer of metallic catches the light and shines in natural or ambient light.
The word 'heathen' is used as a derogatory term for those choosing not to follow an organised religion. Being brought up an Irish Catholic (and now lapsed) I've always been interested in the importance placed on organised religion in many cultures.
I am fascinated by how religion often replaced the worshipping of nature, and how practices connecting humans to nature are often lost because they may be considered 'pagan' (and therefore lesser) by some that prescribe to other religions.
The Irish heather and wildflowers celebrates the connection to the land, of Ireland as a land rich with nature and folklore. The wildflowers depicted here are all are native to Ireland, which I researched extensively.
A wreath can also be a symbol of grief. I have used this as a symbol of loss too, of a way of life that we may have lost, and a lack of connection to the very thing that sustains all life.
