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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eI 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Irish heather and wildflowers celebrates the connection to the land, of Ireland as a land rich with nature and folklore.
