Of Water And Feathers | Original Linocut Print | Peacock Feathers | Hand-pulled Wall Art Decor

“Beneath this island there is another island, perhaps even more beautiful. Toward it glides a smiling swimmer, joining rock, air, and water in a lightning arc. I would like to see you all at once from every side—creature, fragment, whirlwind, magnificent delirium of a lucid mind.” (Poem by Julia Hartwig) 

Of Water And Feathers - Original Hand-Pulled Linocut Print

A quiet descent. A suspended breath. A woman drifting beneath the surface, where silence becomes a world of its own. “Of Water And Feathers” is an original linocut print portraying a solitary swimmer submerged in an otherworldly underwater space. Feathers float tangled in her hair - delicate symbols that merge the realms of air and water, freedom and stillness, ascent and surrender. The scene captures a moment of introspection: a figure held between movement and pause, weightlessness and emotion. Is she escaping, dreaming, dissolving, or awakening? Her solitude invites the viewer into their own inner sea. A striking piece for those drawn to surreal compositions, feminine symbolism, and quiet emotional depth.

ABOUT THE PROCESS

Every linocut begins as an original drawing carved by hand into a linoleum block using fine carving tools. After inking the raised surfaces, the paper is pressed manually, transferring the artist’s gesture and texture into each print. This slow, tactile process ensures that every impression is a singular piece of hand-crafted art.
