Cailleach na Mointeach Folklore Print
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 inspiring her work. This particular print is inspired by the hill range on the Scottish Isle of Lewis which, when viewed from afar, resembles a sleeping woman. Hence the name Woman of the Moors, or Cailleach na Mointeach in Gaelic. One of the many myths around this sleeping beauty set in stone is that she's waiting for her warrior to return from battle, and it's said that every eighteen and a half years, the moon rises and caresses her in light, a sign he has finally returned.
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.
