Artist Print
Feathered funambulist:
your rope strung across cracks in the world,
our tales up-hurled
from far below.
Magician in amber
and umber
and blue,
your fourth dimension
like a cloak about you.
Translator of languages unwrought,
unthought;
your tongue a pigment-taster,
truth-chaser.
Far-flying spirit in a coat of bark,
your resin ekes out
trapping human moments
for many evers.
And you do it because you must:
because life thrust a prism under your eyelids
and a tightrope under your feet.
~ from the Book Nine Praise Riddles by Rima Staines, published by Hedgespoken Press in 2018.
Print from original ink on scratchboard drawing.

Printed on 100% recycled 285gsm (card weight) parchment-coloured Context Birch paper for a beautiful quality warm and earthy print. On the back is printed the title and details of the image along with Rima's mark.
The last picture shows you the image most clearly; though the actual paper background is cream/off-white which gives the image an added warmth, as you can see in the first photos.
