ouroboros - original design of the ancient symbol of rebirth - modern minimal hand-pressed contemporary linocut print on fine paper

For this linocut print, I reimagined this ancient symbol, allowing the serpent's tail to grow and coil and tie into a knot before it gets swallowed up. And like ALL of my work, I created the original from which I carved the block.

This is a hand-carved, hand-pressed linocut on acid-free paper. It measures 6 x 6 inches, and I left a little room for a mat if so desired. There is a Hanko style stamped signature on the front. Due to the handmade nature of the linocut process, please allow for minor variations in ink adherence to the surface of the paper.

Shipped with care: surface protected with a sheet of tissue parchment, packed between two rigid sheets of recycled paper fiberboard, so no surface damage, crimps or folds. All of my orders ship with a little sticker too!

Thanks for looking!
