A Place to Breathe
'A Place to Breathe' is a 3 block, 10 colour linocut. A nude figure reclines on the beach at what could either be morning sunrise or evening sunset. The figure is engaged in her inner landscape amidst her serence surroundings.
There are certain places and situations that cause a blanket of quiet to descend over us. This image brings up the idea of a setting in which we might find access to that peace. But these spaces exhist withinin first and foremost.
In the realm of art, the nude form transcends mere allure or idealized perfection. It speaks to a deeper truth, a whisper of our very essence. It lays bare our vulnerability and strength, an unflinching portrayal of the human condition. Stripped of societal narratives and expectations, the nude form embodies freedom.
As all prints are hand pressed, each will have some minor differences, which I believe adds to the character of the print. I cannot guarantee that you will receive the edition featured in the photo.
