Full colour, archival pigment fine art Giclée print on Hahnemühle Bamboo paper. This giclée print on paper is aligned with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain which each year falls on or about 1st August (northern hemisphere)/1st February (southern hemisphere). It began as a pencil drawing that was then scanned into a computer and digitally manipulated. I hand draw on top of each print and therefore no two prints are exactly the same. A maximum of 10 prints will be printed using archive quality inks and paper. Lughnasadh is the festival that Lugh, the great Celtic solar god of justice and skill, declared in honour of his foster mother, the goddess Tailtiu. Tailtiu is said to have cleared the forests of Ireland for agriculture, but to have died from exhaustion as a result. Her actions allowed the people of her land to survive, and when they harvest they remember the sorrows of the soil. Tailtiu is associated with grain and apples and with the earth, fertility and wildness. August is a sacred month, tinged with transformation inwards towards darkness. Although the active growth of the crops and fruit is slowing down, now is a time of abundance and plenty. It is the start of the harvest season when crops are gathered and stored for winter: when seeds from the ripe corn fall back into the earth to be hidden there until the first signs of spring. The soil renews.
