Cailleach Dhub
This artwork is created by Abbie Lois, a Scottish illustrator and printmaker who reimagines the traditions of storytelling for modern day.
Her prints are rooted in folklore, with characters and landscapes taking a central role in her work. This particular print is inspired by Cailleach, a powerful figure in Scottish lore which is known as the creator, guardian of the land, and weather deity. Large, dark-feathered sea birds such as cormorants and shags are linked to this tale, and are known as 'Cailleach Dhubh' in Gaelic. Legend has it that it's often seen as a dark omen when the Cailleach is spotted, wings outstretched to dry her feathered cloak.
The original artwork was hand-drawn by Abbie, before being screen printed with six layers and produced in digital form onto FSC-certified perlino cotton 250gsm paper, giving the piece a slightly textured finish. The print is hand-signed by the artist and includes a small card explaining the inspiration and story behind the design.
A3 size, unframed. Delivered flat with a board in eco-friendly biodegradable cellophane.
