The Passage

The Passage is an original linocut print. It has been hand carved and printed using a late 1800s etching press in my studio in South East London. The Passage has been printed on high quality Velvet Somerset paper. It purposely has little printing marks around the image, these are natural marks that occur in lino printing. I tend to avoid them but in this occasion I decided to embrace them and bring on the charm of this handmade process.

This print is a limited edition of 100, signed and numbered.

The size is 30cm x 30cm plus approx. 4cm white margin.

The image of the pair of opposites facing each other can often be found in ancient representations of the goddess. In this case these leopards (or cheetahs) are the guardians of the active door, the passage to a different way of thinking, metaphorically speaking.
