Amber Ash I
Original ink monoprint
15cm x15cm on 20cm x 20cm white card
This monoprint technique is a special printmaking method where the image can only be made once, unlike most other printmaking which allows for multiple originals. A set of three different botanical monoprints makes a calming and balanced arrangement or simply frame one on its own. Fits standard 20cm x 20cm frame.
In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil was a sacred Ash tree which connected the nine worlds. It grew on an island surrounded by the ocean. It represented life, mortality and connection as its trunk reached up to the heavens and its roots reached all the way down to the Underworld.
The Gaels also believed the ash tree to be protective. In fact, three of the five legendary guardian trees of Ireland were ash. They commonly grow beside Irish holy wells and are also seen as a sign of purity.
“We ought to think that we are one of the leaves of a tree, and the tree is all humanity. We cannot live without the others, without the tree.”
-Pablo Casals
