Realm of The White Horse limited edition linoprint
A limited edition linocut, printed in black oil based ink on 320 gsm weight Fabriano Rosaspina paper. Part of an edition of 50.
'Realm of the White Horse' celebrates hill figures of the British Isles and ancient mystical landscapes. I'm interested in the symbolism and folklore attached to these landscape figures, and their place in mythical Britain.
The image is based directly on the Westbury horse in Wiltshire which can still be seen in the landscape.
Depicted against a night sky, the horse surveys over a dramatic and magical comet event. This lights up the strange and beautiful toothwort plant in the foreground (a fascinating parasitic plant that is rooted in folklore). The night's sky also features carved elements taken from the horse nebular. The scene is encased within a frame of Daphne's hand (from the Greek myth) transforming into a laurel tree, mini comets, and moon faces.
As this is a handmade item and quite a tricky block to print, please expect slight variations in the ink density on the edges.
