Linocut – Memento Mori

Memento Mori is, like the Vanitas, a classical art historical motif, intended to remind us of our own mortality and the fleeting nature of our worldly possessions. And this hare is no exception. Gazing into the mirror, an image of bunny-death is glaring right back. This is bound to interrupt the morning boudoir.

This linocut was carved by hand, inked by hand using Caligo Safe-wash ink, handpulled on an etching press, and signed and numbered by hand. As a result each print is an unique and original work of art. “Memento Mori” is printed on gorgeous Fabriano Rosaspina 300 gsm paper. The paper measures approx. 23 x 25 cm, and the printed area 13 x 14 cm.

A limited edition of dark Prussian blue on white Fabriano Rosaspina paper is available in my shop and on Etsy.
