Selkie 5" x 7" Triptych
Selkie 5" x 7" Triptych
This is a set of three handmade linocut prints inspired by the folktale of Selkie, a mythical creature and shapeshifter from Scottish, Icelandic and Irish legend. Selkie’s journey of heartbreak and loss reminds us how we can find false hope in the comfort and safety of a “home” on shore, when our real belonging is inside our wild skin, in the depths of our own ocean of wildness. . .The story of Selkie invites us to always be in search of our pelts or already twirling in them, dusting them off, redesigning them. . .
You can buy the whole set of three as a triptych, or you may just select two. If you wish to just buy one print, individual prints are available in a separate listing.
