This lino print is based on a black and white photograph from a short series I took in May 1995.

It’s a simple composition, but it has always been one of my favourites of my early photographs. I decided that it would lend itself well to being adapted to a lino print.

While the theme is not directly connected to my more recent artwork on mythological archetypes and characters, the image feels related because of the feeling that it represents a scene from some forgotten ritual or ceremony.
