Aequilibrium • Linocut paper print
Each of us has our own boulders inside.
They are on our shoulders, in our heads, in our hearts. They are made of daily commitments, responsibilities, past actions, regrets, things we do not forgive ourselves.
Sometimes they are so heavy that they take our breath away and make us trudge on.
Sometimes, they are so fascinating that we hold on to them, even when the time has come to let them go. They have become a comfort, even if they slow us down a lot.
They are always there, needless to deny it.
It is therefore up to us to choose where to have them, how to carry them, how much weight and space to give them. May they be a useful guide of experience, awareness, union of the various parts of us.
This is an extra-large print, measuring 70x50cm, and is printed in plant based ink on Favini Tintoretto 300g printmaking paper. This a limited edition of 10 prints.
All prints in this limited edition are handmade and handpulled on a press, and each print is signed and numbered.
Due to the slightly structured texture of the paper, this print is a bit difficult to print, and is likely to have a bit of "lino noise" and slight variations. This is not to be considered a flaw, but is inherent to the handmade nature of the artwork and process, and a welcome reference to the particular tradition of printing it stems from.
You can choose the version with an oak-effect frame and plexiglass (72x52cm), or simply the print.
