Beneath the golden light of the longest day, three young women whirl in ecstatic ritual, their movements woven with the magic of midsummer. Set within an apple orchard in full bloom, this large A3 linocut print captures the joyful, wild spirit of Litha—the summer solstice, and the high point of the sun’s power.
Litha marks the peak of the God’s strength as Sun King, a time of abundance, light, and celebration. But as the wheel turns, this moment of brilliance also signals the slow return to darkness, reminding us of the ever-shifting balance of nature. This print honours that duality: the beauty of life in full bloom, and the sacred dance between light and shadow.
Each print is created by hand using richly pigmented Cranfield oil-based ink on high-quality paper. The design is sketched, carved into linoleum, and pressed with care—resulting in a tactile, heirloom-quality artwork, full of organic details and unique character.
As with all handprinted linocuts, slight variations and marks are part of the process, making each piece truly one of a kind.
