BACKGROUND
Inspired by Jungian psychoanalytic theory, the Shadow Aspect series explores the archetype of the shadow in terms of the changing dynamics of the relationship it is able to develop with the conscious mind - or ego - throughout the process of individuation.
Each of the three prints represents a different stage of the process of acknowledging, accepting and eventually embracing the shadow side in order to become a whole, individuated person.
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.
