Goldcrest Ivy, reduction linocut print 2021
A commission for the birthday of a baby Ivy. Inspired by the folkstory of the gold-crested wren, celebrated as the king of winter, protecting nature through the times of limited resources. Goldcrests are known to use ivy and moss for their nests and within the story, the goldcrest uses ivy in protection against an attack from a robin (ruler of summer).
The circular design of this print refers to both the goldcrests nest and the importance of ivy in the natural winter cycle.
