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

⫸ There will be minor differences from print to print due to the handmade nature of the printmaking process.
