BACKGROUND

Inspired by Armenian philosopher G. I. Gurdjieff’s 'horse and cart' allegory, In Search of the Miraculous explores the potential we have as humans for developing our awareness in order to form a unified consciousness, as opposed to continuing to live our lives in a hypnotic 'sleep state'.

In the allegory, the carriage represents the human body and all its functions, the horse harnessed to the carriage corresponds to the emotions, and the coachman directing the horse represents the intellectual mind. The passenger directing the coachman from inside the carriage represents the ‘possibility of consciousness’.

Your print will come with an accompanying essay providing some background information about the theory and symbolism behind the design.


+ Printing Method

Each print is individually pressed from a hand-carved lino block using the traditional burnishing method. The manual printing process enables texture to be incorporated into the design in a unique way, celebrating the handmade nature of traditional techniques.
