Details about the work
The Pine tree has been steeped in folklore for thousands of years. It was associated with the coming of the sun after the dark winter by the Druids. Both the Yew & the Pine trees were important in the rituals of the Winter Solstice, the Yew representing the death of the old & the Pine the birth of the new. Bonfires were lit to ensure the sun came back & the crops would be plentiful.
I am fascinated by trees & photograph them where ever I go. I wanted to create an ethereal feel to this piece of work with layers of colour & texture representing the bleak winter. The metal leaf represents the sun, a glimmer of hope as to what will come.
The print is hand finished with either real Gold or imitation Gold leaf, this makes every print unique. Creating these artworks takes several days & involves multiple stages. I have spent a lot of time experimenting to perfect my technique.
Gold Leaf - I use 23.75 ct. Imitation Gold leaf looks very similar but is actually made from Brass
