Hare Moon Magic 12" x 18"

Sale Price:$123.00 Original Price:$164.00

This is a handmade linocut print inspired by the timeless archetypal trio: hares/rabbits, women and the moon, which weaves its way into the folklore of many landscapes. The phases of the moon resemble the seasonal cycles of fertility in the wild all of which is interwoven with femininity, and Mother Earth. The design features two hares, one sleeping and one awake, with a spring landscape inside them including a sky full of stars and a full moon with three women dancing in the moonlight. Above them all are phases of the moon ranging from crescent to full.

PRINT SIZE: 12" x 18"

PAPER SIZE ranges from: 15" x 20" to 17" x 22"

COLORS:

It is handprinted with Caligo safewash ink (non-toxic) in Celtic green or blue-gray Cornflower color. The colors have been handmixed so please expect slight variations. Extra care has been put into editing the photos to show the actual colors.

PAPERS:

The Celtic Green is printed on Hosho Paper, which is a bright white archival heritage paper from Japan. It is smooth and medium weight;

The blue-gray Cornflower colored pieces are printed on two different papers: Lokta and HanJi. Lokta paper is a natural tan-shade heritage paper from Nepal that is rustic textured, and very lightweight and almost transluscent. HanJi paper is an off-white archival heritage paper from Korea which is also rustic textured and it comes in a either a very light weight option or heavier weight option.

There is no difference in the print between all three papers, but please note the lightweight paper needs to be handled with more care because it is fragile and can easily tear. If the weight of the paper matters to you, please indicate this in a note to the seller.

MORE DETAILS:

The archetypal trio of hares/rabbits, women and the moon is found in the ancient Chinese folktale of the Jade Rabbit and Moon Goddess Chang-e; the Egyptians included the rabbit, the moon and the goddess in their Book of the Dead, in their hieroglyphs, and in their artwork; in Celtic and Anglo-Saxon folklore the lunar goddess Eostre is also associated with hares, fertility and spring; in Mayan art, glyphs, hieroglyphics, and inscriptions, the Moon Goddess Po is frequently depicted holding a rabbit; and in Siberia a shape-shifting moon goddess named Kaltes roams the hills in the form of a hare. . .and more!

Though in our current world we may witness new borders being built, we can always count on the sanctuary of stories and symbolic synchronicities like this archetypal trio to remind us of our interconnected earthly human and more-than-human roots….
