An Original Linocut Print 'Earth spirit' by The Coventina Press
Hand printed by myself at my home studio in the Northeast of England, so everyone is slightly different and unique.
Earth spirits represent the matter of the universe. Like the earth beneath our feet, they are stable, reliable and move slowly. Earth spirits feel comforted and at peace in nature and in their homes. They are private and often introverted. Their emotions stay with them and run deep and they will only share them when necessary. They have a calling to heal and care for others, often through nature. They hold space, and will often take on responsibilities to make the world a better place.  On the flip side Earth signs can be stubborn and find it difficult to compromise. Often they are perfectionists and can be critical. Change can be a tricky one and they can get stuck if change is needed.
The zodiac earth signs taurus, virgo and capricorn
The process of a lino print is quite lengthy. I digitally design most of my prints, these are then printed and transferred to a block for carving. With the Jigsaw method, once the block is carved I then cut it up and ink the separate pieces in different colours to produce the final piece. This edition of Fire Spirit is 20 prints. Each print is numbered  and signed for authenticity and comes with a descriptive note about the mythology of the design.
 
This artwork is hand printed in beautiful nepalese mitsumata 60gsm paper which is a beautiful natural tone. It is printed in caligo safewash oin based ink. 
This artwork is A4 size and the paper size allows for the print to be mounted and framed as you desire. The print will arrive unframed, however I do frame prints on request, please message me with your requirements.
Your print will be carefully wrapped to ensure safe delivery. I am making the move to using post-consumer packaging to be more ecofriendly so it will practical and secure but perhaps not as pretty as before.
